Electronic Arts is looking to avoid another troubled Battlefield game launch by conducting the most extensive playtests the franchise has ever seen for next year’s Battlefield game, according to a new report by Insider Gaming.
Sources close to the website claim that these playtests are happening on a more frequent basis than with previous entires in the long-running franchise, and the amount of data and feedback garnered is the most the Battlefield series has seen to date. This includes smaller feedback sessions to large-scale player tests, and it’s also reported that EA is looking at a possible return for the Battlefield Community Test Environment.
