In the world of war shooters, there is currently a clear protagonist, and it is none other than Call of Duty . But for many years, the market has been dominated by two protagonists, and it is that in addition to the Activision game, EA also did the same with its beloved Battlefield. And now that the first rumors of Call of Duty: Vanguard are sounding, what will happen to Battlefield? What news will it include?
A leap to the future
If the clues about Call of Duty: Vanguard reach us in a time situated in World War II (some say that it will respect the times and others that they will pose a different War of longer duration), it seems that Battlefield will deviate completely from the historical wars and this time he will bet on the future.
To be exact, according to the information published by Tom Henderson, the new edition of Battlefield will be developed in the very near future, in a context located in about ten years. The idea is to present a futuristic proposal very similar to that of Call of Duty Black Ops 2 , an idea that many fans did not like, so we’ll see how the Battlefield faithful respond. And it seems that the game will include modern military technology that is currently in development or in the prototype phase, such as drones, smart cameras, Boston Dinamics-type robots and all that robotic paraphernalia.
The campaign will feature two camps in the form of superpowers, the United States and Russia, but they will not feel like Axis and Allies, rather each player will be able to define their own path as the story progresses. Throughout the campaign you will be able to recruit specialists and increase skills, and even talk in a cooperative way, so it seems that the campaign will bring a lot of substance. We like that.
A name without adjectives or numbering
The most striking thing is that it seems that this new installment will be called simply Battlefield, and not Battlefield 6 as one would expect seeing the progression of the previous versions of the saga. It is a name that has already been ringing in the last hours, and with which the developers themselves have been joking about it, describing the term Spaghetti in the same way that a tweet pointed out alleged leaks of the game.

The Battle Royale will not be missing
And how could it be otherwise, Battlefield will not want to miss the Battle Royale party either. The saga has always bet on massive warfare with more than 100 players, but the trend today is very clear. Players want a free Battle Royale, so there’s no choice but to offer something similar.
The clues suggest that the game will arrive at the end of 2021, but the battle royale mode will not do so until the beginning of 2022. It will be a free-to-play game, and will have a battle pass and the typical mechanics with which to generate income that we usually see in games of this type.
