DICE Is Still Interested In The Battlefield: Bad Company Series

DICE producer Patrick Liu has confirmed that the studio is still interested in continuing on with the Battlefield: Bad Company series.

With the single-player campaign of the award-winning Battlefield: Bad Company 2 left at a cliffhanger, and the upcoming Battlefield 3 on the way, many have questioned whether another Bad Company title will see the light of day.

In an interview with The Guardian, Liu said, “We haven’t killed Bad Company, but we can only make so many games. Be patient. There might be something else coming up.”

Despite the possibility that another Bad Company sequel could be on the way, don’t get your hopes up for anything coming out in 2012, as DICE isn’t aiming to have a Battlefield game every year.

“We don’t have any plans to make Battlefield an annual title,” he said. “We want to make it ourselves. We don’t want anyone else doing it, and no studio can make an annual franchise by themselves. Well, the sports titles can, but they’re a very different breed.”

For now, DICE is still focused on preparing for the launch of Battlefield 3, as well as planning content for after the release.

“There’s a still a lot of work to do,” Liu said. “And the launch is just the start really. We’ll then be releasing more content, tweaking and balancing the game. We have a team dedicated to servicing the game after launch.”

Battlefield 3 will be deployed on October 28, 2011 across the UK for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
