The hype and anticipation that surrounded the game all throughout its release owe a lot to the figures accompanying this game’s sales. However, the game is rated one of the lowest on Steam and fans have been really critical about the myriad of bugs and glitches surrounding the gameplay. EA DICE has taken into note of all the negative reviews surrounding Battlefield 2042 and has appointed Vince Zampella, head of Respawn Entertainment, and DICE LA as in charge of the Battlefield series.

As reported by Kotaku, Zampella said, “We will continue to evolve and grow Battlefield 2042, and we’ll explore new kinds of experiences and business models along the way that we can add to that foundation to provide an awesome array of experiences for our players.”  He further added, “In this universe, the world is interconnected with shared characters and narrative. This universe is also built with our community as we harness the power of Portal and user-generated content that puts creativity in the hands of our players.”
