It looks like the new Battlefield will be completely rethought by the developers, as there is a possibility that they are working on creating an open world in this shooter. This is indirectly evidenced by an open vacancy in the studio.
EA Motive, which is involved in the development of the new Battlefield, announced a search for a senior environment artist. The description emphasizes that the game will be large-scale and dedicated to war, so a specialist with experience in creating an open world is required to successfully implement the project.
EA CEO’s comments about the new Battlefield are reflected in the earnings report, in which he called the next iteration of the series one of the developer’s most ambitious projects to date. The open world of the game then seems logical, since the game will undoubtedly be a long-running service.
