Respawn Entertainment’s Vince Zampella recently sat down for an interview with IGN, where he discussed the future of the Battlefield franchise and hinted at potential partnerships with Nintendo. While Zampella did not specifically mention the rumored ‘Switch 2’, his positive comments about Nintendo have sparked speculation about the possibility of a Battlefield game coming to the next Nintendo console.
Zampella expressed his admiration for Nintendo, calling them great partners and emphasizing their importance to EA and Respawn. He stated, “We love them as partners. They’ve been great to us. I love the [Switch].” While there are no concrete plans to bring Battlefield to the Switch at this time, Zampella’s remarks suggest that future collaborations with Nintendo are not out of the question.
The interview also provided insight into the direction of the Battlefield franchise following the mixed reception of Battlefield 2042. Zampella hinted at a return to a modern-day setting for the upcoming game, drawing inspiration from successful titles like Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. Additionally, the team is reevaluating the game’s player count, aiming for more compact and well-designed levels with a maximum of 64 players, a departure from the overwhelming 128-player maps in Battlefield 2042.
As fans eagerly await news about a potential Battlefield release on the Switch 2, Zampella’s comments have sparked hope for the future of the franchise. With Microsoft’s commitment to bringing Call of Duty to Nintendo platforms, EA may be inclined to follow suit and expand their reach to the Nintendo audience.
