Oscar winner, Michael B. Jordan, is reportedly involved in a film adaptation of EA’s longstanding first-person shooter franchise, Battlefield. Since the launch of its most recent entry in the fall of 2025, the Battlefield franchise has seen a strong resurgence in interest and player count, driven by its strong gameplay fundamentals and rich amount of content.
Battlefield’s long and storied history starts in 2002 with the release of Battlefield 1942, a large-scale first-person shooter set during World War II. Since then, the franchise has expanded its large-scale FPS gameplay to time periods such as World War I, the Vietnam War, the year 2142, and multiple modern-day entries. While a staple in the FPS space, Battlefield’s fan reception and sales numbers have fluctuated over the years, with some of its most recent entries, including Battlefield 5 and Battlefield 2042, receiving lukewarm–if not outright negative–reviews and underperforming sales. Under the late Vince Zampella's leadership, Battlefield Studios course-corrected the franchise with Battlefield 6, which received overwhelmingly positive reviews and still sees healthy player counts well after launch.
Battlefield 6 is an explosive FPS with adrenaline-fueled multiplayer that is truly Battlefield at its best.
