Battlefield has had a rough time recently. Battlefield 2042 was not well received by the community, causing a lot of damage to the legendary franchise. But Electronic Arts hasn't given up yet and wants to get the series back on track.

This became clear after EA's latest press release detailing the future of Battlefield. In this announcement, there wasn't just a bunch of flowery words; they also announced a new title for the franchise.

According to EA's press release, Vince Zampella of Infinity Ward and Respawn Entertainment will lead the future of Battlefield. One of his first steps will be to oversee the development of new games by Ridgeline Games, a brand new studio that will create the series' next games.

This studio also includes Marcus Lehto, one of the Halo co-creators, and they plan to create "a narrative campaign set in the Battlefield universe."

“It is a great honor to have the opportunity to collaborate with DICE and Ripple Effect and lead the charge on expanding the narrative, storytelling, and character development opportunities in the Battlefield series,” said Lehto, Game Director and head of Ridgeline Games.
