Need for Speed 's biennial release schedule has put the franchise into a perpetual state of fatigue that it hasn't managed to escape since 2011. This most recent delay will be the first time in almost a decade where Need for Speed won't follow its typical release schedule of every two years. Of course, this can primarily be attributed to Battlefield 's development necessitating additional support. However, extra time between Need for Speed entries can only benefit the next installment, despite being delayed into 2022. Need for Speed needs time to marinate and adjust the franchise, largely by looking back on past failures and learning from what was lack

Battlefield , traditionally, has been a largely DICE-developed affair. While that has resulted in some stellar shooters over the years, in today's gaming environment dominated by regular new content drops in games like Call of Duty or even Fortnite , DICE simply can't keep up. That fact was made clear with Battlefield 5 . Though developed as a live-service game in mind, Battlefield 5 saw frequent content droughts and feature delays, sometimes for months at a time. Battlefield games are notorious for releasing in a buggy state, and having to fix bugs and other various launch issues distracts from creating and implementing new game cont

DICE LA will be primarily responsible for creating content for the live service portion of Battlefield 6 . With the studio having already helped on previous Battlefield entries and now being helmed by Vince Zampella of Respawn Entertainment fame (the studio behind Titanfall and Apex Legends ), DICE LA is in a great position to help make Battlefield 6 be all it can be and help to relieve some of the pressure on DICE proper to create new cont

For one thing, EA will want to get ahead of Activision in the most literal sense. Typically, Call of Duty games are revealed in May and/or early summer months, but EA will want to unveil something from the next Battlefield game sooner than that. Especially considering how Battlefield 6 , or whatever the next Battlefield game is named, was initially announced for PS5/Xbox Series X during an EA investors/earnings call a year ago. There hasn't been a single inkling of news about the game other than its existence since last January, potentially meaning it's been in development long enough for a gameplay reveal or even just a tea

With Battlefield 6 supposedly taking inspiration from Battlefield 3 , one great way to call back to the successful entry in the series would be to bring back Battlelog. More than just a bit of nostalgia for old school fans, the app’s return could prove to be useful and engaging for newcomers. With the account becoming active again after such a long period of time, it seems unlikely that DICE would have used it to announce this random fix when any other Battlefield -related social media account would have suffi

Perhaps most importantly, staying away from battle royale modes in Battlefield 6 will play to DICE's strengths. Firestorm's development was largely outsourced to another studio, so instead of spreading out development, it'd be better if Battlefield 6 was authentically DICE's own. DICE has years of experience in providing its players with immersive wartime simulations. Battle royale games are fundamentally different from the brand of gameplay that Battlefield has built a reputation on, so maybe it doesn't need to master this particular genre. There's lots of ways to make a good shooter without always implementing a battle royale offer

Battlefield 5 is only a couple years old, but lots of fans are ready for Battlefield 6 this year. What's more, EA and DICE seem ready to take another crack at the franchise. Battlefield 5 had been going strong with DLCs for a couple of years, but the developers say that the game wasn't as successful upfront as they hoped. DICE had done well supporting the game in the meantime, Battlefield2042Play.Com so there's a fan base ready to carry over into Battlefield 6 . Details on the next game are supposedly coming up this spring, so fans have time to speculate on what DICE is going to take or leave from the last g

Battlefield 6 has already been confirmed for a spring reveal and a holiday 2021 release, so it's entirely possible that the alpha will come shortly after the reveal. When Battlefield: Hardline had its E3 showing, EA put up a beta on PS4 and PC to give players instant access to the game. It's entirely possible EA may pull a similar move for Battlefield 6 _ and debut the alpha following the game's initial reveal. If the studio is aiming to have the "earliest alpha" for the series, it would have to come before June as that's when _Hardline had its first playable build to f

Currently, not much official information has been shared about Battlefield 6 apart from its release window, with rumors making up much of the discussion regarding the sequel. The latest Battlefield 6 theory sees fans believing that the game may also see one popular feature return when it does come, and it should be familiar to those who played Battlefield 3 , Battlefield 4 , or Battlefield Hardli
