Summary:

  • EA had major leadership changes after a series of flops (Battlefront II, Mass Effect Andromeda, Battlefield V, Anthem, Need For Speed, Battlefield 2042)
  • Old DICE leadership left, made Embark studios and poached half of the studio's talent
  • Remaining talent formed TTK games
  • EA hired Call of Duty's GM to rebuild the Battlefield brand
  • Next BF will launch in Oct 2025, made by four studios following CoD's multi-studio dev model
  • According to OP, 98% of the people making this BF did not work on previous BF games

Shoutout to Embark's game "The Finals" - try it out, if you didn't yet. Definitely my go-to FPS since it's open beta. r/thefinals
 
What large studios and publishers are doing well right now? EA being kept afloat by Apex and sports games, Ubisoft is a shitshow, Xbox has given up, and PlayStation is also a shitshow with all of the cancelled live service games. I guess Nintendo haha
