Even though most people who played the Battlefield 2042 voice their concerns over the pre-release beta, with an overwhelming opinion that it should’ve been delayed even further, it still released because, ya know, shareholders and shit.
Battlefield 2042 hit, then immediately was lambasted by both critics and fans of the series for being a buggy mess of a product. Sure, they’ve dropped three updates since it released but there are many issues still to go.
Of course, in a bid to make everyone happy, EA is making drastic moves so that this supposedly won’t happen again, as Respawn’s Vince Zampella is taking over as the ‘Head of Battlefield’ and the Battlefield universe of games, as they’ve announced a major expansion of the franchise as three studios will now be 100% Battlefield studios.
DICE, Ripple Effect, and Marcus Lehto’s unannounced team will be building a ‘Battleverse’ of titles going forward. Other changes include DICE GM Oskar Gabrielson leaving the company, being replaced by Rebecka Coutaz, a former studio director at Ubisoft.
What do you think, ALL? Is the brand too damaged to recover or is there a chance that it will rebound so well that we forget all about this? Let us know in the comments below!
