EA’s signature Battlefield FPS Battlefield 2042 was brought back to life in October last year. However, the number has fallen from the daily peak of 100,000 in November season 6 to around 25,000. DICE Studio, which leads the development The technical director of the series recently presented new clothing with logos, which led players to speculate that EA has started developing the next “Battlefield”.
Darko Šupe, technical director of EA Digital Illusions CE AB (DICE), posted a new t-shirt yesterday (3rd) with the caption “BATTLEFIELD” on one side and “WE ARE” on the left. The person wearing this outfit is apparently part of the Battlefield development team.

On the other side are the logos and names of the five EA studios. The logos from left to right are:
In April 2023, EA reorganized the Central Technology Development Department/”Fast” developer Criterion Games joined EA in September of the same year/DICE/Seattle studio Ridgeline Games was founded in September 2022/Formerly DICE Ripple Effect Studios in Los Angeles.
It wasn’t until mid-December last year that DICE announced the logo change for the Frosbite Engine and at the end of the month the well-known whistleblower Tom Henderson asked about the “Battlefield” on XCodename for developing new workMany fans believe that Darko Šupe’s post suggests that the new “Battlefield” is on the way.

In fact, if you compare the printed logo of this dress, you will notice that the breakpoints of the capital English font are similar to the position of the special effects letters of “Battlefield 2042”. If this is the logo of a new game, the game background should be the same as “Battlefield 2042”, set in Modern Warfare.
But it seems that EA hasn’t given up on “Battlefield 2042” yet. CEO Andrew Wilson was asked about the operational status of the “Battlefield” IP at the May 2023 financial reporting meeting. He said the series won’t just focus on making games, but the goal is to “become a major platform that will drive real-time online services for decades to come.”
In its second-quarter financial report in November, EA attributed the company’s 33.4% year-over-year profit growth to online (live) services, which contributed 73% of profits across all divisions.
Given that the update to the season and pass mode of “Battlefield 2042” was once effective, the new game in the series does not rule out imitating the “content inheritance” function of the old rival “The Final Hour” and releasing a new version of the story and mode under the same title.
