In August 2023, Wilson described the upcoming Battlefield game as a “reimagination of Battlefield” that will exist within a “truly connected ecosystem.”

EA is developing multiple Battlefield experiences, both single-player and multiplayer, through different EA game studios. DICE is leading the development of a Battlefield multiplayer experience, while Ripple Effect, based in Los Angeles, is working on a separate Battlefield project, potentially a free-to-play battle royale mode. These projects are expected to be interconnected, contributing to a larger Battlefield narrative across various game modes.

The franchise has amassed over 25 million players in the past 12 months. Wilson highlighted the enduring passion of Battlefield players worldwide, and emphasized that the upcoming Battlefield game is a top priority for EA and described it as one of the most ambitious projects in the company’s history.

“The community is energized by what our teams are doing and excited for what comes next,” Wilson said. “This is not just one of our top priorities, it is also one of the most ambitious projects in our history. We have brought together the very best team, coupled with the resources and technology they need to deliver an epic Battlefield experience.”

Alongside the Battlefield franchise, EA is known for other popular FPS titles, such as the Crysis series and Apex Legends. Additionally, EA’s EA Sports label is globally recognized for sports simulation games, including EA Sports FC (formerly FIFA), Madden NFL, F1, WRC, College Football, NHL, and UFC.

Wilson concluded by stating that more details about EA’s future plans and strategies will be shared with shareholders at their Investor Day on September 17 in New York City.
