Battlefield 6

[Para]

Entwickler: Battlefield Studios (DICE, Criterion Games, Ripple Effect Studios & Motive Studios)
Publisher: Electronic Arts
System: PC, PS5 & Xbox Series
Release: TBA

Wir wissen schon seit längerem, dass DICE am nächsten Battlefield Ableger arbeitet und dabei wieder in die Richtung der BF3&4 Ära gehen will. 32v32 Maps, altbewährtes Klassensystem, ein bodenständiges Setting in der Gegenwart usw. Peak Battlefield für viele Fans der Reihe. Nun scheinen sie aber auch endlich mehr darüber reden zu wollen, denn Morgen am 3. Februar um 17:00 Uhr sollen die ersten Infos für die Community Playtests online gehen. Mal schauen ob Battlefield 6/2025, oder wie auch immer es heißen mag, dann direkt in einem mit richtigem Bildmaterial angekündigt wird oder wir dafür bis zu den Sommer Showcases warten müssen.



PS: die GDC 2025 im März wäre auch ein guter Zeitpunkt, denn die Titel wurden nicht selten da auch mal gerne enthüllt, wie z.b. eben Teil 3 und 4.

Bei der Szene mit den "Test Gamern" musste ich tatsächlich bissel schmunzeln, hätte mit nem Twist auch ne Szene für ne Black Mirror Parodie sein können.

ea hat mittlerweile bestätigt, dass sie den titel für das nächste geschäftsjahr (ab 1. april 2025 bis 31. märz 2026) anpeilen.

EA has confirmed a planned release window for its new Battlefield game | VGC

The next Battlefield game from EA is scheduled to be released before April 2026…

www.videogameschronicle.com

As part of its third quarter earnings results on Tuesday, the publisher said it’s planning to release the next franchise entry before April 2026.

The game has an “expected fiscal year 2026 release” – that’s the 12 month- period starting on April 1, 2025 and running until March 31, 2026.

Hoffentlich wird es gut. Ich habe zwar nicht mehr die Zeit von früher, wäre aber sofort Gewehr bei Fuß!

diesen freitag soll schon der erste playtest stattfinden.

Battlefield Labs First Playtest Starts This Week

The first Battlefield Labs playtest is set to take place later this week, which will give players the first real insight to the new title.

insider-gaming.com

Insider Gaming has learned that Battlefield Labs will have its first playtest to test “concepts and mechanics” on Friday March 7th. The playtest will be the first in EA’s new Battlefield Labs program, which was announced earlier this year. The first test is scheduled to take place for approximately two hours on the PC.

According to the email sent to participants, the test is in a “closed test environment” and recording, streaming, and and discussions about the game are strictly prohibited. But whether participants stick to such a confidentiality agreement remains to be seen.

 

[Para]

hat gestimmt und auf dem battlefield subreddit gibt es nun schon erstes gameplay, wenn auch teilweise in einer fragwürdigen qualität.

 

[Cannibalpinhead]

Hmm... Zerstörung + die Soldaten schauen aus wie Soldaten und nicht wie Superhero-Specialist-Masterboss.

Das wäre echt schön wenn wieder mal ein "normales" Battlefield kommen würde... so wie Bad Company oder Teil 3. Ohne jeglichen Schnickschnack.

 

[Cycrow]

Die Gefahr besteht ja immer, insbesondere wenn es erfolgreich wird, dass nach 6 Monaten doch wieder Clowns-Kostüme rumrennen.

soll märz 2026 bis märz 2026 erscheinen + der titel wird offiziell im sommer enthüllt:

Electronic Arts Reveals New ‘Battlefield’ Game Will Launch by March 2026 as It Beats on Latest Earnings

Electronic Arts (EA) revealed it will be releasing its next "Battlefield" game by March 2026.

variety.com

Electronic Arts (EA) revealed it will be releasing its next “Battlefield” game by March 2026 when it reported its latest quarterly earnings results Tuesday.

Details on the new installment in the “Battlefield” franchise are set to be revealed this summer, per EA CEO Andrew Wilson, who calls the title a “pivotal step in delivering on our next generation of blockbuster entertainment.”

edit: okay, damit meint ea das aktuelle geschäftsjahr, welches ja bis zum 31. märz geht. kann also natürlich früher erscheinen.

keine große überraschung, aber hinter den kulissen des neuen battlefield läuft es auch nicht rund. druck, mismanagement, falsche erwartungen (100 millionen spieler lol) usw.

What’s wrong with AAA games? The development of the next Battlefield has answers.

EA insiders describe stress and setbacks in a project that's too big to fail.

arstechnica.com

EA's executive leadership believed Battlefield had the potential to stand toe to toe with them, if the right calls were made and enough was invested.

A lofty player target was set for Glacier: 100 million players over a set period of time that included post-launch.

"Obviously, Battlefield has never achieved those numbers before," one EA employee told me. "It's important to understand that over about that same period, 2042 has only gotten 22 million," another said. Even 2016's Battlefield 1—the most successful game in the franchise by numbers—had achieved "maybe 30 million plus."

However, major setbacks significantly disrupted production in 2023 (more on that in a moment) and hundreds of additional developers were brought onto Glacier from various EA-owned studios to get things back on track, significantly increasing the cost. Multiple team members with knowledge of the project's finances told me that the current projections are now well north of that $400 million amount.

After the shuttering of Ridgeline, ownership of single-player shifted to three other EA studios: Criterion, DICE, and Motive. But those teams had a difficult road ahead, as "there was essentially nothing left that Ridgeline had spent two years working on that they could pick up on and build, so they had to redo essentially everything from scratch within the same constraints of when the game had to release."

Single-player was two years behind. As of late spring, it was the only game mode that had failed to reach alpha, well over a year after the initial overall alpha target for the project.

A former employee with direct knowledge of production plans told me that as gate three approached, prototypes of some important game features were not ready, but since there wasn't time to complete proofs of concept, the decision was handed down to move ahead to production even though the normal prerequisites were not met.

"If you don't have those things fleshed out when you're leaving pre-pro[duction], you're just going to be playing catch-up the entire time you're in production," this source said.

In some cases, employees who flagged the problems believed they were being punished. Two EA employees each told me they found themselves cut out of meetings once they raised concerns like this.

Gate three was ultimately declared clear, and as of late May 2025, alpha was achieved for everything except the single-player campaign. But I'm told that this occurred with some tasks still un-estimated and many discrepancies remaining, leaving the door open to problems and compromises down the road.

Man kann wohl festhalten das AAA kurz vor dem Aus steht... bin mal gespannt wie sich das alles hin Entwickelt.
