This title comes off the back of the advanced the last installment, launched four years ago to a negative response it had difficulty to overcome.

Among those insights was to involve players participating from the start, and the team initiated closed fan trials in recent months.

This "feedback was extremely encouraging," comments Rebecka.

Another absent component from the previous installment was a story mode, which has been restored for this release.

The Guildford team creative lead the design director is the one tasked with "ensuring those stages are as enjoyable and compelling as feasible for the players."

In spite of allegations that the size of the title had put a strain on the different studios working together internationally to develop the game, the director is positive about the work.

"This whole strategy has been a fresh take but also truly exciting because we are partnering with people from internationally."

Concerning the pressure on the developers, Fas says: "We feel demand but at the same time it's exciting.

"It's a big undertaking. It's arguably the most significant that many of us have ever participated in."

Emerging Talent Brings Fresh Perspective

He undertook an work placement at Criterion prior to getting a job there, and presently works part-time while concluding his VFX studies at the university.

He states he's a dedicated enthusiast of the Battlefield series, and remembers playing the fourth instalment of the franchise at a buddy's place when he was younger.
