All franchises needed to keep up with the times, l’est they become irrelevant in the ever evolving gaming world. As of right now, huge squad based shooters like Battlefield and Call of Duty are being replaced by the booming battle royale genre with games like PUBG and Fornite. EA and Activision are making additions as necessary, and EA especially has confirmed that Battlefield V will...
For what must be the first time in a millennia of annual releases, Battlefield V will not be launching in October in 2018. Instead, developer DICE is opting to push the release date onto Nov. 20 this year, outside of the usual October blockbuster window. DICE General Manager of Developer Oskar Gabrielson states the official blog post announcement that “We’re going to take the time to...
To go forward, you sometimes have to go back. After years of flagging and lagging future-war games, Activision and Electronic Arts spent the last couple years going back into history. EA took the Battlefield series all the way back to the first World War with Battlefield 1. The forward march begins again with the next game in the series. According to GamesBeat, sources close to...
Star Wars Battlefront II doesn’t launch officially for another few days, but if you’re on EA Access, you can already play as much as 10 hours of the game before it sees worldwide release. But that’s not going to be enough time to unlock your favorite Star Wars character. Players have been calculating how long it would take to unlock some of the most iconic Star Wars personalities...
EA is taking every measure to assure fans and shareholders alike that the complaints that dogged the first Battlefront won’t affect the second. In this week’s earnings call, EA said during a Q&A session about Star Wars Battlefront II that the game is “three times the size of the original game at launch.” The answer came in response to a question about DLC or a season pass for the...
Star Wars Battlefront II finally has a campaign, an element sorely lacking from the original. But the multiplayer is still at the core of the experience. The first of the new Battlefront games was fun but just about every review and fan gripe I heard about it could be summed up as saying it “lacked depth.” Our own Joey Davidson’s review included. So the team has some work to do with...
Where Call of Duty continues to move out of modern warfare and into the future, Electronic Arts and DICE are taking things back to the very birth of modern warfare this fall with Battlefield 1. This latest iteration of the Battlefield series is set in World War I, the first war that saw tanks on the ground and fighter planes in the skies. While games have drained World War II and modern...
Many in the gaming community continue to debate the critical legacy of Star Wars Battlefront, but very little can be argued against its financial success. There isn’t a whole lot of leeway to say that 14 million is a disappointment, especially when it exceeds the goals set by its publisher. In its financial report for the year, EA sums up the success of Star Wars Battlefront, stating...
Last week was one full of war games. Activision and Electronic Arts unveiled their new Call of Duty and Battlefield games. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare took things further into the future by actually going into space. It’s a departure for the genre, but one they’d been working toward for the last few games. Battlefield 1 was the bigger surprise. Rather than re-hashing modern warfare...

Developers at DICE have taken to Twitter...
