Today, EA announced the latest iteration of the Battlefield series for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, Battlefield: Bad Company. Series creator Digital Illusions will also take on development again for Bad Company; they plan to build the game from the ground up specifically for next generation consoles.
While previous Battlefield games have focused on multiplayer, Bad Company will focus much more heavily on single player; EA promises a “deep, cinematic single-player experience” that has players taking on the role of a squad of renegade soldiers unleashing loads of destruction inside enemy territory. Bad Company is also expected to feature levels with destructible environments. EA also said that the game will feature, as par with previous entries in the series, a handful of multiplayer modes.
Battlefield: Bad Company is expected to have a 2007 release and more details will be announced as they are revealed.
