Not even a month has passed since DICE released its new Battlefield saga game.

Now, a new rumor on the next game in the series always comes from the same insider, an individual now known by all fans of the shooter series and who has therefore shown himself to be correct in many of his statements concerning the saga. He claims that the new Battlefield game could be a real Hero Shooter this time, thus joining titles such as Apex Legends ed Overwatch, also including the infamous battle royale.
The next Battlefield title is scoped as a hero shooter of sorts – It’s not a removal of specialists, but an enhancement of them. #Battlefield2042 has always been intended to be a stepping stone to a “hero shooter” with a Battle Royale – It was just executed poorly.

According to Henderson, it will not be one removal of specialists included in Battlefield 2042, but a kind of “update” that they will undergo. Also, 2042 would have been a kind of “step” into that kind of modality, even if it wasn’t done in the most optimal way. Considering how the GM of DICE, Oskar Gabrielson, has abandoned EA, and the founder of Respawn Entertainment (creators of Apex Legends) Vince Zampella has arrived at the head of the franchise, one could already guess the type of road that will be taken in the next Battlefields. In addition, the Ripple Effect studio, formerly known as DICE LA, appears to have plans to create a new experience in the universe of the series, even if it is still difficult to understand what can be dealt with precisely.
