As a seasoned Battlefield gamer with over two decades of experience under my gaming belt, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming installment in this iconic series. The news that the game is set to take place between 2027 and 2030 has piqued my interest, as it promises a modern-day backdrop that will undoubtedly bring new challenges and thrills.


A knowledgeable source within the gaming industry has shared fresh insights about the upcoming Battlefield title, shedding light on aspects such as its maps, weapons, and the time period in which it’s set to be played. Electronic Arts (EA), the publisher of Battlefield, offered a sneak peek at the sequel on September 16 with a single piece of concept art, confirming that the game will unfold in a contemporary era.

In a recent chat with IGN, Respawn Entertainment’s founder and EA Vice President Vince Zampella has disclosed that the upcoming Battlefield game will revisit a modern setting, much like Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. He further shared that this unnamed shooter will return to its roots by accommodating 64 players per map. Following the ambitious move of Battlefield 2042 with 128-player maps, the studio has chosen to scale back due to audience feedback. Zampella now prefers “compact, high-quality, meticulously designed play areas.

While Zampella did give a peak into the future of the Battlefield series, industry insider Tom Henderson has revealed exclusive details on the next entry via InsiderGaming. According to Henderson, sources close to the project have revealed that the first-person shooter will take place somewhere between 2027 and 2030, which aligns with Zampella’s confirmation that the next Battlefield will take place in a more modern setting. It’s also claimed that there will be 45 different weapons available at launch, which is double that of its predecessor, Battlefield 2042. As for maps, EA is supposedly aiming for around 10 multiplayer maps at launch.

Insider Reveals New Details on Next Battlefield Game

The upcoming Battlefield game is not only set to reveal information about weapons and maps, but also hint at its setting. Although fans have attempted to pinpoint the location based on the concept art, InsiderGaming suggests that the game could span multiple locations like Gibraltar and parts of the USA. According to Henderson’s report, the game may include a Battle Royale mode with a tropical backdrop somewhere within the United States.

The Battlefield series is recognized for its destructible environments, and it’s been suggested that DICE is making major changes to this feature in the next Battlefield game. Multiple sources from Henderson indicate that the upcoming Battlefield title will feature “caliber-based destruction” akin to Rainbow Six Siege, implying that the extent of environmental damage will be determined by the caliber of ammunition being fired by the player.

It seems that DICE is still deliberating over the ideal title for the upcoming game. A series of extensive surveys have been dispatched to fans, and it’s rumored that members of the Battlefield community will get to choose between “Battlefield 6” and simply “Battlefield” as potential names for the next installment.
