The next Battlefield game is almost certain to see the return of a single-player campaign, according to a new job listing posted by EA that is seeking a design director for its Battlefield Seattle Studio. “Your job is to embrace the core tenets of the Battlefield franchise and make sure they are woven through all layers of a masterfully designed single player campaign,” a portion of the ad reads, hinting that DICE and EA have learned their lesson with Battlefield 2042 and is committed to addressing one of the chief complaints that critics have had regarding the multiplayer-only title. EA’s Battlefield Seattle Studio is a new studio that is dedicated to developing new installments of DICE’s premier first-person shooter franchise. The latest attempt to salvage Battlefield 2042 comes in the form of Zero Hour, a new season that introduces a new map, new Specialist, stealth helicopters, and more.
