Want a new Mirror\u2019s Edge<\/a>? Bad news: DICE has said that it has no plans for anything other than the Battlefield franchise and is fully focused on Battlefield 2042<\/a> issues<\/strong>. New general manager Rebecka Coutaz, who admittedly joined the studio at a time when it\u2019s struggling, told Games Industry that she wants DICE to be a shooter \u201cpowerhouse\u201d with the Battlefield franchise. This means that there\u2019s no time or plans for anything else.<\/p>\n

Battlefield 2042 issues dealt a blow to the game\u2019s community<\/h2>\n

\"Battlefield<\/p>\n

\u201cThe launch of Battlefield 2042 was not as expected,\u201d Coutaz admitted<\/a>. \u201cOur players and community were disappointed, but so was our development team. We have focused on the health of the game, and so bug after bug, patch after patch, we are fixing and improving it.\u201d She added that disappointing veteran players who\u2019ve been with the Battlefield franchise for two decades has been especially hard on the developers.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be forgiven for thinking that DICE hasn\u2019t worked on anything other than Battlefield for ages. It has churned out Battlefield games for 20 out its 30 years of existence. But these releases were punctuated by others including Star Wars Battlefront<\/a> and Mirror\u2019s Edge games. Unfortunately, the former was plagued by issues of its own, like notorious monetization, and the latter never really took off despite garnering a cult following. But what about something new? It looks like that\u2019s off the table as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are only focusing on Battlefield 2042,\u201d Coutaz said. \u201cThere is no time for anything else and this is what we want to do. In three years, we want to be the first-person shooter powerhouse that DICE deserves to be, and that is what we\u2019re going for.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other news, Sony has finally acknowledged that PS Plus classics are plagued by performance issues<\/a> in some regions, and the new PS Plus trailer<\/a> is chock-full of Easter Eggs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1724842,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","type":"","auto_type":false,"post":"","stream":"","stream_url":"","waveform_data":[],"duration":0,"bpm":0,"downloadable":false,"download_url":"","purchase_title":"","purchase_url":"","post-count-all":0,"like_count":0,"download_count":0,"editor_note":"","copyright":"","captions":[]},"genre":[78],"artist":[169],"mood":[],"activity":[],"station_tag":[7305,17904,16976,5514,177,17905,5225,14119,17581,17497,17906],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station\/1724841"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/station"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1724842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1724841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=1724841"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=1724841"},{"taxonomy":"mood","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mood?post=1724841"},{"taxonomy":"activity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity?post=1724841"},{"taxonomy":"station_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station_tag?post=1724841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
