Battlefield Studios is wearing its biggest inspirations on its sleeves. The next entry in the storied franchise, the freshly unveiled Battlefield 6, has made it very clear that it’s borrowing liberally from its greatest hits to embrace a contemporary setting. And based on what we’ve played so far, it’s doing so with great success.
But while the developer repeatedly mentioned that this new game is a spiritual sequel to 2011’s Battlefield 3 and 2013’s Battlefield 4, there is another, more recent game in the series that will have a noticeable effect on the new game’s presentation. Jeremy Chubb, a producer at DICE says 2016’s Battlefield 1 is still the gold standard for how to craft the world of EA’s multiplayer shooter.
