The next Battlefield title, colloquially dubbed Battlefield 6, is currently set to be unveiled this June, ahead of a planned release later in 2021. While Electronic Arts has remained tight on details, the project is repeatedly pitched as a "next-gen" experience, expected to leverage the best of the new Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PlayStation 5 consoles. However, the title will still target Xbox One and PS4 consoles when it launches this fall.

"Battlefield will be available for both current-gen and next-gen as will our sports titles," Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson stated during its FY21 Q4 earnings call. "The reference specifically from our prepared remarks was around the nature of gameplay. What we can do with the fidelity of the game, what we can do with physics, artificial intelligence, and the immersive nature of the game."

 

 

"And in the case of Battlefield, what we can do with respect to the amount of players that we can have in the game, and the nature of destruction and those all-new Battlefield moments that are truly next-gen opportunities that we are able to do in the context of our next-gen franchises because of the increased processing power and memory and output of the new consoles."

Sounds like they're going to do the same thing they did with bf4 and make it less players and smaller maps on last gen. Disappointed by this but not surprised. I wonder if their decision to support last gen would be any different if not for the chip shortages.

Yup, good question.
