The franchise has not quite succeeded to match its top competitor in terms of sales or players, but evidence points to the new installment could reduce the distance.

An early access session allowing players a opportunity to try out the game not long ago achieved milestones, and the excitement leading up to its launch has been huge.

However the project is nonetheless a significant risk for company Electronic Arts, which has reportedly spent huge sums of money developing it.

Our team has spoken to a number of the creators to find out how they hope it will pay off.

They include veteran developer the Swedish studio, based in Europe, Los Angeles-based Motive team and Ripple Effect Studios in North America.

"We probably would not be able to create and produce Battlefield 6 absent the learnings we had in Battlefield 2042," she explains to our team.

One of those takeaways was to involve the community engaged early, and the team started closed player playtests earlier this year.

The "response was incredibly favorable," states she.

One more omitted component from the previous installment was a solo experience, which has been reintroduced for this release.

The UK studio creative lead Fasahat "Fas" Salim is the individual tasked with "ensuring those missions are as enjoyable and compelling as feasible for the players."

Despite reports that the scope of the title had challenged the multiple teams working together internationally to build the project, Fas is positive about the work.

"Partnering with diverse perspectives, different experiences, it's a really engaging setting to be engaged with every day," he says.

"The complete approach has been an innovation but something truly thrilling because we are collaborating with individuals from around the globe."

Concerning the pressure on the team, Fas comments: "We experience pressure but at the same time it's thrilling.

"This is a major undertaking. It's probably the largest that many of us have ever participated in."
