- Battlefield 6 Producer Phil Girette believes season 2 is the “strongest” yet
- He also believes it will bring back the players who left after Season 1’s extension
- He adds that Season 2 will be the “foundation” for future updates
A Battlefield Studios developer has said Battlefield 6 Season 2 is its “strongest” yet and is believed to bring back players who may have left the game after Season 1.
In an interview with TechRadar Gaming, producer Phil Girette and associate producer Kit Eklof discussed the latest season, which is available now. They said that they are convinced that those who may have stopped for a while after the launch of Arc Raiders – another great online shooter – will be back to try it.
According to Girette, while the game had a successful launch that saw an incredible number of players (who even overtook Call of Duty: Black Ops 7) Season 1’s extension caused many players to drop out.
“So we started Battlefield 6 and we were super happy to have had a smooth launch for once. And so going into Season 1, I think the most important thing is because […] there were a lot of people who spent a lot of time playing it, which kind of broke the pace is the extension we did of Season 1,” Girette said.
“We looked at the content that we have in Season 2 and we just said, ‘it needs a little more time in the oven to further polish’.”
He continued: “Season 2 is definitely bigger than what we’ve done in Season 1. We’ve got the maps, we think they’re going to be pretty strong. We’ve got the additional gameplay mechanics. We’ve got popular vehicles coming back like Little Bird. There’s a brand new addition in REDSEC himself as well.”
Eklof echoed this sentiment, saying, “If you’re really a die hard Battlefield damn, there’s so much stuff that’s in there Battlefield DNA that we add to Battlefield 6 here, which I think is really, really exciting, and on top of that some innovations too. I think it’s fantastic.”
Season 2 has so much new content, including new weapons, vehicles, the Battle Pass, and even a new map with a poisonous gas similar to the poison gas in Battlefield 1.
When asked if he thinks Season 2 is the best season the team has done yet, Girette argued that it was the “strongest” and that it will lay the foundation for future seasons going forward.
“Do the perfect thing Battlefield season even exists?” he said. “Everybody sat together and said, ‘This is really, really strong.’ We will use season 2 as a kind of foundation going forward – that’s the level we need to reach. We hope the players think the same, but I think it will be the strongest season [yet].”
