DICE’s creative director, Lars Gustavsson, has stated that we probably will see a Battlefield: Bad Company 3 – just not any time soon.

Speaking at a recent Battlefield 4 event, Gustavsson said that he would “really love to do [another Bad Company game]”, not least because “it was creative freedom; don’t take yourself too seriously. So I love it. I want to see it again.” He’s got a fair point, there: there series didn’t take itself remotely seriously, generally focusing on humour and character rather than attempting to create anything approaching a realistic vision of war.

It’s unlikely to happen yet, though. “Whether it can happen [right] now with the newly announced Mirror’s Edge 2 and Star Wars: Battlefront… but we’ll see,” said Gustavsson, pointing out that DICE already have rather a lot on their metaphorical development plates. “But trust me: the Bad Company [team] isn’t forgotten. They’re just on a very long vacation.”

“So they are out there, they’re coming back.”

The last Bad Company title was 2010’s Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Since then, DICE have just been working on entries in the main series, with Battlefield 3 hitting in 2011 and Battlefield 4 due out on 29 October of this very year.

Credit goes to Polygon for this one, it seems.

When not writing about games, Tim can occasionally be found speedrunning terrible ones, making people angry in Dota 2, or playing something obscure and random. He's also weirdly proud of his status as (probably) the Isle of Man's only professional games journalist.
