Summary:

• EA had major leadership changes after a series of flops (Battlefront II, Mass Effect Andromeda, Battlefield V, Anthem, Need For Speed, Battlefield 2042)
• Old DICE leadership left, made Embark studios and poached half of the studio's talent
• Remaining talent formed TTK games
• EA hired Call of Duty's GM to rebuild the Battlefield brand
• Next BF will launch in Oct 2025, made by four studios following CoD's multi-studio dev model
• According to OP, 98% of the people making this BF did not work on previous BF games

Can Tom please confirm this I don't like seeing this random people saying this stuff. You can't really know if they are actually ex-employee and even if true we can't know what it means until we see the game.

I didn't realise Battlefield V flopped. I still play V now and again and it still has a pretty healthy player base all these years later.
