EA reveals next Battlefield title has a modern-day setting


Electronic Arts reveals the setting and other details about the next installment in its Battlefield franchise.

Respawn CEO Vince Zampella, also the group GM for EA Studios, told IGN in an interview that those two particular Battlefields were a major source of inspiration for the upcoming title. Zampella noted that there were several features the development team — which consists of studios within DICE, Motive, Ripple Effect and Criterion — is changing from recent Battlefield releases. It also canceled an untitled Star Wars FPS then in development as part of a move away from licensed IP to its own in-house franchises, such as Battlefield.
