Just like how Activision has a new Call of Duty game every year, EA has a new Battlefield game on an annual basis as well. In fact this year EA released Battlefield Hardline. That being said the Battlefield franchise has been going on for a while now but it looks like EA is not done milking that cash cow just yet.
During the company’s latest investor call, the company’s CFO Blake Jorgensen revealed that a new Battlefield shooter would be making its way onto consoles come 2016. This was in response to a question asked about future core titles in which Jorgensen basically confirmed that a Battlefield game for 2016 was planned.
According to Jorgensen, he was quoted as saying ,“What we’ve said is that our intention over the next couple of years is to have a first-person shooter as one of the core titles. This year, obviously, it’s Star Wars Battlefront. Next year, it’s another Battlefield title.” However as to what kind of content we might expect is really anyone’s guess.
However this year’s Battlefield Hardline was a nice change of pace. Instead of being military-focused, Hardline was a more modern and urban-styled game with the classic cops and robbers kind of theme. Hopefully EA will continue a similar trend next year but as it stands, it might be too early to tell. In the meantime what would you like to see in 2016’s Battlefield?
