“Our main change is the removal of the 128 player version of Breakthrough. When we looked at the experiences available in All-Out Warfare, we noticed that the 128-player version was more suited to Conquest mode and its vast spaces, which lends itself better to the sandbox dimension. In 128-player Breakthrough mode, the usefulness and impact of a player or squad on the flow of the game is limited by the intensity of the chaos“, justifies the press release.
Intended for PC and next-gen consoles, 128-player games are still available in Conquest mode, with the hardest part being filling those games with that many players, as evidenced by the not improving turnout. As for the Breakthrough mode, it will therefore focus on its 64-player version which represents a more tactical and less chaotic experience, according to the creators.
There is no question of surrendering for EA, which is doing its best to clear the name of the Battlefield franchise, and for DICE, which is giving an appointment at the beginning of June for the start of season 1. A complete overview will be unveiled before the launch day, but we already know that this season will come with a new Specialist class, content for Portal mode and a first battle pass. For those who want.
