Battlefield 7 in Full Development. Electronic Arts Reveals First Concept Art and Confirms Some Gameplay Elements

As a veteran gamer with over two decades of Battlefield under my belt, the latest news about Battlefield 7 has me both excited and cautiously optimistic. Vince Zampella’s words echo the golden days of Battlefield 3 and 4, a time when the series truly shone. The return of character classes and the focus on a maximum player count of 64, rather than the bloated 128 in Battlefield 2042, is a welcome change for me.


Fresh details have emerged concerning the forthcoming Battlefield game, often known as Battlefield 7. These insights were shared none other than Vince Zampella, the CEO of Respawn Entertainment, during a conversation with IGN. He shed light on what their upcoming shooting game will entail.

IGN not only provided us with an interview with Zampella but also revealed the first concept art from the next Battlefield. You can see it below.

As for the game itself, we got the following news:

  1. Battlefield 7 is to be set in modern times;
  2. Zampella noted that Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 were the pinnacles of the series;
  3. in the next installment, the maps are to be designed for a maximum of 64 players (it should be noted that in the latest Battlefield 2042, up to 128 people can play at the same time);
  4. character classes will return, and specialists will be removed;
  5. the developer emphasized that the creators must preserve the “core” of Battlefield, which is especially important to all long-time fans of the shooter.

Nevertheless, the information that production on Battlefield 7 has officially started undoubtedly brings joy to fans of the series. It’s possible that an announcement for the game might be made soon, but Electronic Arts could choose to unveil the title closer to its release date instead. The earliest potential launch would likely be in autumn 2025; however, we may need to wait even longer.

The “community program” that Zampella referred to is undoubtedly going to be revealed next year. Its primary aim seems to be fostering a stronger connection with players. While the specifics are yet to be disclosed, it’s plausible to assume that it might resemble closed testing sessions.
