So Far, Electronic Arts has drafted Motive, Dice, Criterion, and Ripple Effect into the Battlefield project. The company’s CEO Andrew Wilson said the assembly is the biggest in the history of the Battlefield franchise.
According to the publisher, the team is working on “a Battlefield universe across connected multiplayer experiences and single-player”. During the quarterly earnings call on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, Wilson said he recently got the chance to experience the early outcome of the project.
“This is the largest Battlefield team in franchise history,” the Electronic Arts boss said. “A few weeks ago, I was visiting with the teams, and I couldn’t be more excited about what they showed and what we were able to play. I’ve just spent a whole bunch of time with the collective Battlefield team playing what they’re building and it is going to be another tremendous live service.”
As part of the earnings report, Electronic Arts announced that it would release two unannounced games before the end of the current fiscal year which ends March 31, 2025. The publisher explained that one of the games was being developed by a third-party developer while the other was based on an owned IP.

The third-party title will likely be published through the EA Originals label and is planned for release in the first quarter of calendar 2025. However, the quarterly launch window for the game that will be based on the publisher’s owned IP was not confirmed.
Giant Bomb reporter Jeff Grubb claimed the mystery game based on Electronic Arts-owned IP was BioWare’s Dragon Age: Dreadwolf and that the game would be revealed this summer. Earlier, Electronic Arts confirmed that Battlefield 2042 Season 7 – Turning Point would be the last for the game. The new season launched in March.
