The truth is that the history of Battlefield 2042 It is being too tumultuous and despite the time it has already been on the market, almost a year that will be on November 12, the scandal of that game step is still dragging full price at 80 euros for free that raised a good part of the community up in arms: especially the most staunch fans who ran to the stores to buy it. Now, Electronic Arts will have no choice but to eat his own words about what he thought about campaign games a few years ago.
In search of the lost campaign
If you remember, some time ago Electronic Arts suffered a "multiplayer launch attack" and decided to cancel its own developments for large franchises focused on individual play, with campaigns, complex plots and far removed from that online that currently controls everything. The excuse was that gamers didn't want that kind of experience, but he said it in full swing of titles like God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4 and countless other names.
Now it seems that with Battlefield 2042 is going to amend that (erroneous) thought that Electronic Arts had and is preparing a campaign mode, with its well-spun plot and that it could come to the franchise soon. As soon as this year. Who is responsible for this order? Well, the company Redgeline Games, run by one of the creators of Halo, Marcus Letto.
Remember that the fans already complained bitterly that when Battlefield 2042 hit the stores had no more than multiplayer modes, leaving aside the traditional campaign (so typical within the franchise) to enjoy a short story that not only seduced us with a plot Rather, it was intended to train us so that, upon completion, we would land in multiplayer with the important control and handling lessons fully learned.
What will he tell us?
Within the official statement issued by Electronic Arts itself no reference is made to anything that could give clues about the theme of that future campaign de Battlefield 2042 that the Americans are preparing, so we will still have to wait until there is a trailer through reveal or something similar in the next few weeks.
Anyway, this move made by Electronic Arts fits perfectly with what happened after the accidental launch of Battlefield 2042 and that led the company to appoint Vince Zampella, head of Respawn, as the thinking head of such a successful franchise and one that has a tradition and prestige that few have achieved in recent decades.
Zampella, it must be remembered, left Activision and Infinity Ward after the success of his Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (the old one, the one from 2009) to create Respawn, a developer that has great games behind it like Titanfall y Titanium case 2 o Apex Legends. So let's hope that the joint work with Letto bears fruit and before the end of the year we have news or... maybe the campaign itself is already available?
