When it comes to all things Battlefield, Electronic Arts isn’t content to let console players have all the fun, even though the fourth iteration in the series is due for release next week. The company recently announced that a “high-end” mobile Battlefield game is in the works.
In an interview with the New York Times Bits blog, EA’s head of mobile development, Frank Gibeau, revealed the project. “You can play Battlefield 4 on a tablet in Commander Mode. We are working on a mobile game of Battlefield that will be high-end and high-performance. It’s our bet that we can successfully pull that off.
“We’re embarking on something no one has ever done before – to get these games to inter-operate between platforms. Will it wok It already has in some cases. Will it work for all franchises Not all franchises will make the transition. Battlefield might be a little harder,” he stated.
This isn’t the first time a mobile Battlefield game has been released. In 2011, the company released Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for iOS. No word yet on which platforms will see the new game.
Battlefield 4 releases on October 29 for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3; November 15 for PlayStation 4; and November 22nd for Xbox One.
