Battlefield 6 isn't just a game it's an entire platform, says EA CEO

EA is throwing everything it has into the development of Battlefield 6, with rumors suggesting the publisher has invested as much as $400 million into the development of the title. With that kind of investment, EA is looking not just for Battlefield 6 to succeed, but to skyrocket and prosper.

While EA didn't confirm if that investment estimation is accurate, the publisher's CEO, Andrew Wilson, did confirm that more has been invested in Battlefield 6 than in any other Battlefield product in the history of the franchise. These comments from Wilson were made during a recent earnings call where he revealed that EA isn't considering Battlefield 6 to be just a product, but a platform the publisher intends to build out.

Notably, Battlefield 6 is currently being worked on by four development studios: DICE, Criterion, Motive, and Ripple Effect, all of which are working under the umbrella of Battlefield Studios in different aspects of the upcoming game. Some studios are handling rumored modes such as the free-to-play Battle Royale experience, some are teaming up to work on the single-player campaign, and others are working on unannounced features.

The extensive team behind Battlefield 6 further illustrates EA's hefty investment into the title and how it intends to create the staying power of a lasting platform with the release of Battlefield 6. Ultimately, EA is "all-in as a company on it."

The Battlefield 6 multiplayer reveal is scheduled to take place on July 31, with open and closed betas also recently leaked to take place next month. Dates for those betas have been revealed. Check them out below.
