Rumor: EA Wants Battlefield To Become an Annual Release

Historically, the Battlefield series has been less prolific compared to many other major players in the First-Person Shooter (FPS) genre. In fact, it has become even more infrequent in recent years. If we look back at all the Battlefield games, there was a period during the late 2000s and early 2010s when the series experienced a lot of activity, but since then, the franchise has chosen to release new games less frequently. For instance, Battlefield 5 came out in 2016, followed by Battlefield 2042 in 2021, marking a three-year gap between the two. The four-year gap between Battlefield 2042 and the upcoming Battlefield 6 is the longest interval between mainline releases for this series since it began back in 2002.
