EA Won't Release a Battlefield Game Next Year, Breaking Usual Cycle
In the company's earnings call Tuesday, EA announced that it will not release a new Battlefield game next year. This is the first time EA has broken the usual one-and-a-half to two-year cycle between Battlefield games since Battlefield: Bad Company.
Games industry analyst Daniel Ahmad of Niko Partners noted that EA confirmed it will release the next Battlefield game will ship in fiscal year 2022, which begins April 2021 and ends March 2022.
EA also confirmed that Apex Legends would be its primary focus (as far as shooter games) for 2020. EA confirmed Apex Legends had reached 70 million players, with season 3 performing better than previous seasons. EA is planning on porting Apex Legends to mobile and "other" platforms, as well as making inroads with China's video game industry and esports industry.
