Battlefield has long been one of EA’s top franchises, and we now have new details surrounding the next entry in the series that will be releasing later this year.

What we didn’t expect was the announcement of a brand new mobile game, bringing the series to handheld devices for the first time ever.

New Battlefield Mobile Game Announced

Along with the announcement of the new main-line game, Battlefield, EA also revealed that the series will be coming to mobile for the first time.

“It’s always been our vision to bring Battlefield to more platforms. So, after years of prototyping, I’m super happy to be able to let you know that our friends at Industrial Toys, working closely with all of us here at DICE, are developing a completely new Battlefield game bringing all-out warfare to smartphones and tablets in 2022.

Make no mistake, this is a standalone game. A completely different game from the one we’re making for console and PC, designed specifically for the mobile platform.

It’s being built from the ground up by iToys to make Battlefield-on-the-go a reality and you can expect a fully-fledged, skill-based experience. This mobile game is now entering a testing period ahead of launching next year, so expect more details to come.”

With many other shooters making their way to mobile in recent years, including Call of Duty, PUBG, and Fortnite, it isn’t surprising that EA have followed and put their flagship shooter series, Battlefield, onto mobile platforms too.

It will be interesting to see what becomes of this game, as it sounds like it could be a much different game to the console and PC counterparts.

In the blog post it mentions it being a skill-based experience, which makes it sound like it won’t be a simple run and gun FPS game. Perhaps it will be more team-based and tactical, such as Rainbow Six.

Only time will tell, but with EA Play taking place during E3 weekend in June, this is likely the place where we will find out more news and potentially see a trailer and gameplay for the new Battlefield mobile game.
