Expect features such as ship-to-ship and helicopter combat, alongside environmental challenges like wildfires. While details remain sparse, multiple EA studios are contributing to the project, but no release date has been set yet.

What is the setting of the new Battlefield game?

The new Battlefield game is believed to be set in a modern context, with initial concept art indicating a potential war-torn Gibraltar as its primary location.

The series is known for its large-scale battles and diverse gameplay mechanics, including vehicles and aerial combat. The previous appearance of Gibraltar in 2006’s Battlefield 2142 adds another layer of relevance to the new game’s setting.
