Everyone remembers where they were when Battlefield 2042 launched. "I think 2042, for us, was a very ambitious goal," says Jeremy Chubb, producer at DICE. Battlefield 2042 achieved a middling 68 on Metacritic, with user reviews putting it at just 2.3/10. "This game [Battlefield 6] is much more in tune with what we built in Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4, particularly," Chubb says. With a successful open beta under its belt, the developers feel a lot more positive about Battlefield 6 than they did about 2042.
