According to a recent report from Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, the next mainline Battlefield is targeting an October 2025 release window and will take a “back to its roots approach”. According to the report, it will have 64-player matches, the four-class system, and improved destruction systems. It will also be set somewhere between 2025 to 2030, and will have “a strong story-driven emphasis on modern technology used in war.” Lastly, the report claims that developer Ripple Effect is working on a new free-to-play Battle Royale title that’s meant to be similar to Call of Duty: Warzone. Its worth noting none of these claims have been confirmed by Electronic Arts.
Details for the latest game in the series, Battlefield 2042:
Battlefield 2042 is a first-person shooter that marks the return to the iconic all-out warfare of the franchise. Adapt and overcome in a near-future world transformed by disorder. Squad up and bring a cutting-edge arsenal into dynamically-changing battlegrounds supporting 128 players, unprecedented scale, and epic destruction.
All-Out Warfare
The next generation of fan-favorites Conquest and Breakthrough features the largest Battlefield maps ever and up to 128 players. Experience the intensity of all-out warfare on maps filled with dynamic weather and spectacular world events.
Conquest – Battlefield‘s massive, iconic sandbox mode returns – this time supporting 128 players on PC. The maps have been specifically designed for this vast scale, with action divided into “clusters” of various kinds. Also, the action now centers around sectors consisting of several flags instead of individual control points.
Breakthrough – The return of Breakthrough sees two teams – Attackers and Defenders – battle over larger-scale sectors as the Attackers push towards the final objective. Each sector is designed to house a larger number of players, enabling more strategic choice and more flanking opportunities. Approach the capture areas from multiple locations and take advantage of more types of tactical possibilities.
