EA boss makes huge Battlefield 2042 admission: \u201cI don\u2019t think we delivered\u201d It\u2019s no secret that Battlefield V and 2042 performed below expectations, but EA CEO Andrew Wilson owned up to the franchise\u2019s recent shortcomings. Battlefield celebrated its 20th anniversary on September 6, and EA marked the occasion by proclaiming, \u201cwe are all in on Battlefield.\u201d You would be hard-pressed to trust EA after Battlefield 2042\u2019s tumultuous launch. However, the developers made massive strides in Season 2, and its promises for Season 3 and beyond provide at least a small glimmer of hope for reaching a light at the end of the tunnel. Now, EA\u2019s CEO has admitted that the recent Battlefield titles underperformed in a big way. EA CEO comes clean about Battlefield\u2019s shortcomings In a conference call with Goldman Sachs, EA CEO Andrew Wilson admitted to missing the mark with Battlefield V and 2042. Wilson admitted, \u201cI don\u2019t think we delivered in the last two iterations of that in the way we should have,\u201d referring to Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield V. EA\u2019s boss stated, that there\u2019s \u201ca lot of work to do\u201d to restore Battlefield to its former glory. Wilson went on to reference the Star Wars sequel trilogy and how it failed to live up to fan expectations, but had shows such as The Mandalorian help recover the franchise\u2019s reputation. Wilson believes Battlefield can make a similar rebound. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen movies, you know, not to live up to the expectations of franchises. Star Wars might be on such franchise, and then you can see what happens when you get the right creative team involved, how they can completely reinvent and grow a franchise.\u201d Battlefield desperately needs reinventing, but Wilson said, \u201cwe have an extraordinary creative team involved in Battlefield now.\u201d Wilson also pointed at cross-platform play being a valuable tool for Battlefield making a turnaround. EA made its voice voices loud and clear, but the company and developers still have a long way to go in restoring the faith of a fractured community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
