Huge DICE shakeup as Vince Zampella (Titanfall) takes over the Battlefield franchise.

[chubigans]

Congrats to Vince! This sounds awesome.

Edit: more Battlefield news:

 

[Milennia]

I can cry at this news, holy shit

 

[EssBeeVee]

time for some wall runs

and some titans to take out the tanks

 

[Billfisto]

Hopefully he brings some of the imagination and innovation from Titanfall into the series.

 

[Kinthey]

Huh, did not see that coming. Tough it also sounds like he's remaining at respawn?

 

[Neverx]

Hopefully respawn is still in good hands, very disappointed with the management of the past battefield/front games since BF1.

 

[Kyuuji]

Awesome news 👏✨

Time for Santa to get a brand new mech.

 

[Era of not Yakuza]

That is outstanding news

 

[JoueurN1]

This is really good !

 

[Milennia]

He wouldn't leave Respawn in shambles, it's in good hands

 

[Spinx]

Next up, BioWare! I want to wall run in my Mass Effect.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Wow - this escalated fast.

 

[Zebesian-X]

Sounds like great news for Battlefield. I wish he could have remained free to work on something new but I guess you gotta make sure your existing franchises are up and running first

 

[105-Shake]

Nowhere to go but up. A shame that it didn't happen until after BF2042 was released

 

[nath999]

CoD re-inventer finally takes over Battlefield.

Isn't Zampella still head of Respawn and overseeing Star Wars and Apex?

Personally I love it, I could never get into Battlefield but always love every game Zampella has put out.

 

[Ahti]

That`s like the best decision EA made in ages.

 

[Theorry]

From COD to BF haha

 

[strikeselect]

holy shit - im excited

it's clear DICE is not the same studio it was in it's heyday

 

[NewDust]

Next they are returning to Medal of Honor and we have come full circle.

 

[Vinc]

As a non-Battlefield fan who loved everything Vince Zampella ever touched, I'll be interested in this.

Next they are returning to Medal of Honor and we have come full circle.

They did! There was a VR game :P

 

[-Tetsuo-]

Excuse me WHAT

 

[Reckheim]

I'm so glad that they are planning to support 2042 for the foreseeable future.

the base is great, they just need to iron out a lot of things.

 

[Chanser]

Nice.

 

[SunBroDave]

Medal of Honor
Call of Duty OG
Modern Warfare
Titanfall
Apex Legends

now Battlefield

Has anyone been more involved with the FPS genre in history than Zampella?

 

[TheGummyBear]

Awesome news 👏✨

Time for Santa to get a brand new mech.

Please make a sequel to the sci-fi Battlefield and give me mecha santa launching from the deck of a Titan ship that is skinned to look like a giant sleigh.

 

[Krombopulos_MK]

Well, that manages to make me excited for the future of Battlefield, at least a little bit.

 

[Theorry]

 

[AhiKuma]

Guys been apart of some heavy name FPS.

 

[CloseTalker]

What a waste of a talented person

 

[NewDust]

They did! There was a VR game :P

Doesn't count



Okay, okay. I forgot.

 

[noodlesoup]

Nice to see that EA has a separate studio focused on narrative experiences in Battlefield now.

 

[nihilence]

Titanfield please.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Zampella turning into EAs Keven Feige.

 

[Theorry]

remember he was already head of Ripple Effect wich was DICE LA before.

 

[Deleted member 13798]

About fucking time. Someone needed to get in there and figure out what's going on.

No disrespect meant to DICE staff, but 2042 looks like the culmination of years of wandering and aimless direction on Battlefield identity. I loved V but the fact that it took over a year for that to start to happen was unacceptable, and 2042 launching like it had is beyond unacceptable.

 

[Griffy]

Zampella isn't leaving Respawn:

Zampella's new position is on top of his existing managerial responsibilities at Respawn, which includes overseeing the ongoing efforts for live-service title Apex Legends and the studio's other unannounced projects, one of which is rumored to be a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

[Bear]

Damn. We won't see the fruit of this change for a few years, but Battlefield really needs it.

 

[Jiraiya]

What a waste of a talented person

Click to shrink...

Weird response.

 

[-Tetsuo-]

If Steve Fukuda takes over as game director LAWD

 

[Torian]

I'm cautiously optimistic - things can only improve from where we are at right now.

 

[fracas]

Really nice to see EA re-commit to 2042 and the series as a whole. There's an incredible game under some fixable jankiness and I'm excited to see what they do.

This man is insane

 

[StreamedHams]

So next BF is 2143?

 

[Lifejumper]

People want more narrative experiences in BF?

 

[LycanXIII]

Now that's a Ripple Effect.

 

[Nateo]

Oh wow.. BF2042 did a BIG ass number to shake up plans like that... Ripple Effect was meant to be off the Battlefield IP too after Portal. Wonder what this means for BF 2023.. holy shit. I have faith in Vince causes dudes been able to turn everything he touches into gold.

 

[DarkManX]

As far as this don't stop a possible Titanfall 3 of happening, then i'm ok with the move. 😛

 

[Tora]

Wow let's go

 

[Biteren]

I hope this means we get Campaigns back, good ones too maybe.

 

[Nameless]

Awesome news. I've been intrigued by the idea of a Respawn Battlefield for a while now. Next best thing.
