Battlefield Campaign in the Works at EA, Headlined by New Studio Ridgeline Games
Battlefield is going back to a narrative campaign. EA has established Ridgeline Games, a new studio dedicated to the Battlefield franchise, that will focus on creating a proper campaign mode — a component that has been lacking in recent entries. The studio is headlined by Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto, who will lead the Seattle-based team, composed of industry veterans. “We're all in on the future of Battlefield!” EA said on Twitter, albeit it remains tight-lipped about the new experience and a release window.
“It is a great honour 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,” Lehto, Game Director and Head, said in a prepared statement. While Ridgeline Games focuses on the narrative aspect, EA has fully entrusted development on the multiplayer end to longtime partners, DICE, working together since 2006.
We're all in on the future of Battlefield! We're continuing to support #BF2042, and welcome our new studio, @RidgelineGames, who will be focusing on a narrative campaign.Read more from GM Byron Beede
