EA to Reveal Battlefield Community Test Program Monday at 5 PM CET

EA has officially confirmed a date for revealing significant updates within their Battlefield series’ community testing program, scheduled for February 3, 2025, at 5 PM CET (8 AM PDT). Players can anticipate insights into the game’s future developments and opportunities to contribute to shaping the game before its launch. This proactive approach is EA’s strategy to address technical issues that impacted earlier releases such as Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield V.

1. Players felt quite annoyed because the games faced issues that weren’t resolved until post-launch. Early playtesting by EA aims to collect player feedback, rectifying significant problems before the game hits the shelves. The upcoming game’s title remains confidential, but it will revert to a contemporary setting following the mixed reactions to Battlefield 1’s World War I theme and the future-focused Battlefield 2042.

Apart from altering the game’s environment, Electronic Arts (EA) has also redesigned the game’s framework, abandoning the contentious Specialist system used in 2042. Instead, they are opting for a more conventional approach with 64-player maps, which is a step down from the hectic 128-player battles experienced in 2042. EA’s choice to involve the community early stems from the success of this strategy with the Skate series.

The studio has been occupied with internal trials and player testing, and the next round of public tests is approaching. This could offer fans a more comprehensive look at multiplayer features and perhaps a sneak peek into preliminary gameplay. DICE is spearheading the multiplayer development, while Motive, known for their Dead Space remake, is in charge of the single-player aspect.

The group responsible for creating Need for Speed games, known as Criterion, is working on additional content and ensuring compatibility with both single-player and multiplayer modes. If you’re eager to learn about participating in the testing stages, today’s the perfect time to stay informed. Should everything proceed smoothly, the upcoming Battlefield installment may manage to avoid common flaws and rekindle the intense gameplay that fans adore.
