Update - July 8: Ripple Effect general manager Christian Grass touched on the direction of the studio's "player-inspired" Battlefield 2042 experience during today's EA Play spotlight, confirming that it will in some way revisit maps from the series' history.
"I can't say that much about it," Grass said. "What I can say is that one of the components of this experience that we're creating is that we're adding some of the fan-favorite maps back into Battlefield 2042, but for the entire experience, you'll have to wait a bit longer before we reveal what that is."
This doesn't tell us how Ripple Effect's project will feel moment-to-moment, but it does at least give us some inkling as to what it will add to the Battlefield 2042 ecosystem, and nostalgic maps are pretty much always welcome in long running FPS franchises. pg gaming
Original story - July 7:
Ripple Effect Studios is the new name for DICE LA, and its first project under the new name is creating a "player-inspired experience" for Battlefield 2042.
The developer revealed its new identity in the first post on its fresh studio site, where it also teased that it's "starting work on a yet-to-be announced project." DICE LA general manager Christian Grass will continue his leadership role, and the team will also welcome Respawn founder Vince Zampella in a manager position even as he continues to oversee work at the Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi: Fall Order studio.
