The lately launched Battlefield 2042 isn't going anywhere, however the publisher intends to broaden on the franchise business in a big method. High as Activision has actually complemented its yearly Telephone call of Responsibility releases with Cod Mobile and War zone, it appears as if EA wishes to raise Battlefield's prominence, as well as that can consist of new games from workshops including Surge Effect.
