Battlefield Mobile dev claims it was canceled due to 2042\u2019s failure EABungie co-founder and Battlefield Mobile lead Alex Seropian has claimed that Battlefield 2042\u2019s failure to appeal to the community was a key reason why EA canceled Mobile. Originally announced in September 2021, Battlefield Mobile was expected to launch in late 2022. However, a delay pushing the shooter back to 2023 would follow. Battlefield Mobile would never see the light of day though as the project was canceled in February 2023 after EA shut down developer Industrial Toys. EA\u2019s explanation for Battlefield Mobile being canceled was stated to be a reaction to how the \u201cindustry has evolved,\u201d but lead developer Alex Seropian has spoken up offering a different perspective. Battlefield Mobile was canceled after 2042 was hated by fans Speaking to Mobilegamer.biz, Alex Seropian detailed why Battlefield Mobile was canceled believing that the community\u2019s negative reception to 2042 was a major factor. Speaking on Battlefield Mobile\u2019s fate, Seropian said: \u201cIn the course of the last year, a few things happened. Battlefield 2042 came out and the community reaction to 2042 was not good. That cascaded a bunch of introspection.\u201d Seropian went on to acknowledge another reason Mobile didn\u2019t survive: \u201cApple also changed the IDFA rules, and the long and short of it is that it\u2019s made user acquisition a lot more expensive.\u201d Finally, another EA Mobile title played a role in Battlefield\u2019s cancelation: \u201cAnd then Apex Mobile came out and I don\u2019t know if EA has talked about why they canceled it, whether it was economics or whatever, but without me saying, you could fill in the blanks, I guess.\u201d A combination of Battlefield 2042\u2019s shortcomings, Apple\u2019s IDFA changes, and Apex Mobile\u2019s end all played a part in the eventual cancelation of Battlefield Mobile. Seropian implied that these factors made it difficult for EA to justify further funding it. Battlefield Mobile was an ambitious project that was built from the ground up in the Unreal Engine. It would have provided players with a mobile interpretation of fan favorite installments like Battlefield 3 and 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
