Next Battlefield Game Might be Open World
A job listing for a position at EA Motive suggests that the next Battlefield game might be going open world.
Possibilities for Next Battlefield Game
The news of what would likely be a massively controversial decision comes just days after EA CEO Andrew Wilson hyped up the next Battlefield game. During a financial earnings report in August, the CEO called the upcoming shooter one of the most ambitious projects in the studio’s history, whilst also saying it was one of EA’s top priorities. Given the dire state that Battlefield 2042 launched in, EA and DICE are likely gearing up to make some monumental changes to the franchise, with an open-world approach now seemingly being a real possibility for the next Battlefield game.
In a recently deleted job listing for EA Motive, which was spotted by Tech4Gamers forum user cindiestarlight, the studio appears to be searching for a Senior Environment Artist with open world experience for the next Battlefield game. Although EA has made no mention of the next Battlefield being open world in any way, fans of the series are speculating that this job listing indicates a big change for the famous shooter series. With the recent reports about Black Ops 6 will also feature open world campaign, it’s not a big surprise for series to compete with as well.
Although the job listing has since been removed, possibly due to the position being filled, the role was specifically searching for an individual to work on the next Battlefield game as a Senior Environment Artist. While that doesn’t necessarily mean the next Battlefield game will be entirely open world, it does suggest that the element will play a part in some way.
Back in February, an industry insider reported that the next Battlefield would come bundled with a free to play Battle Royale mode. This means that any open world elements included in the next Battlefield game might not necessarily be related to its campaign or standard multiplayer maps, but are actually related to its potential competitor to Call of Duty: Warzone.
