Extensive Community Collaboration for Next Battlefield
Electronic Arts' Battlefield studios are basing the next Battlefield game on the biggest community collaboration in the franchise's history. This is probably the publisher's way of trying to avoid another launch debacle like Battlefield 2042 in November 2021.
Electronic Arts has announced the "most ambitious community testing program" in the history of the Battlefield franchise, called Battlefield Labs. Work on the next game is entering a critical phase of development that the publisher hopes will benefit from collaboration with the community. The first phase testing will go live in the coming weeks (sign up). Initial testing will involve an invited group of players and servers in Europe and North America, with plans to expand invitees and server locations in the future.
