Battlefield is getting its own community test program

While Battlefield 2042 was hyped up prior to release, a series of launch-day issues hampered the game's long-term performance. As a result, EA has made some changes behind the scenes and is now preparing for the next Battlefield game. We'll get our first look at what's in the works later today with the reveal of the Community Test Program. 

To avoid another launch riddled with problems, DICE and EA have announced plans for a Battlefield Community Test program, similar to the alpha and beta test programs EA has been running for other projects like Skate.

At 5PM CET today, EA and DICE will be revealing the details behind this test program, which will give fans an opportunity to play early builds of the next Battlefield months ahead of release.

Currently, it is unclear when the next Battlefield game will launch. However, we do know that EA has set up a campaign team to work on a single-player mode, while DICE will handle the game's main multiplayer modes. Other studios around EA, like Respawn Entertainment, will also assist in development.

KitGuru Says: It has felt like Battlefield has been on a downward spiral since Battlefield 4. Hopefully with this next game, DICE can deliver a quality product on day-one, rather than months after launch.
