"Their goal is; three studios making Battlefield on a three-year basis"

EA apparently wants the Battlefield Franchise to follow in the footsteps of big brother Call of Duty, with multiple studios making games and turning it into an annual franchise.

Battlefield has been on a weird trajectory since Battlefield 5. After years of being a yearly or bi-yearly franchise since its inception, the series went on what could be called a hiatus with a three-year gap between it and Battlefield 2042. And now four years after 2042, Battlefield 6 is coming soon, and unlike 2042, it seems to be pretty well liked from the beta periods. And apparently, the goal is for that popularity to return the series to a more frequent schedule.
