Battlefield: Bad Company Franchise Will be Back Eventually, Says DICE Creative Director

The Battlefield: Bad Company series will return, DICE Creative Director Lars Gustavsson has said, but it won’t be for a while.

Speaking at a recent Battlefield 4 event, Gustavsson said that for him Bad Company represented creative freedom, but with all the projects currently in development at DICE, it’ll be some time before he can return to it.

"My feeling is that I would love to do it,” he said. “For me, when we started the company with 1942, it was really a work of passion. And then we worked our way through the era of different wars, and I loved them all, like my little babies. When it came to Bad Company, it was creative freedom; don't take yourself too seriously.

"So I love it. I want to see it again. Whether it can happen [right] now with the newly announced Mirrors Edge 2 and Star Wars: Battlefront... but we'll see."

"Trust me, the Bad Company [team] isn't forgotten, they are just on a very long vacation," he continued. "So they are out there, they're coming back."

Gustavsson’s words are consistent with the message EA and DICE has been peddling for a while now. Last we heard, Bad Company 3 wasn’t in active development, but there also isn’t a “lack of love for BC inside of DICE.”

Gustavsson’s assertion that “they’re coming back”, however, is the first real indication that, one day, we’ll get to re-join Bad Company’s ragtag squad of troublemakers and misfits.

  • Woooooh! I dont know about other buts BF3 just didnt do it for me, while still good it couldnt compare to BC2 so im really looking forward to an eventual BC3.
  • Looking forward to BF BC3! Actually thought it would be here before BF4, but at least this news is better than nothing...
  • i liked BC1 SP it was funny and a new fresh take on military FPS if they can make it like that then id be happy if not then it's just another generic FPS :(
  • Honest, i loved Battlefield Bad Company, the SP was great, the story was well crafted, the caracters where likeable and the convo,s between them funny. The on-line was something fresh and realy enjoyable. the follow up BF BC2 wasn,t bad but somehow the first game was just better, there is proof of this as people still playing on-line alot. I felt BF3 was suppose to be something big and better, instead, at least to me left me somewhat dissapointed, not even sure if BF4 will close that gap, mabye if you playing it on next-gen. But a fresh Bad Company game i would def enjoy alot more, at least if they nail it again in terms of story and on-line modes.
  • Hopefully they'll follow the story from BFBC2, Not starting a completely different arc..
  • BC 2 remains one of my all time favorite mp games, the game play was great the playing field was even, vietnam expansion was amazing, no prone and the destruction was epic.....oh and the campaign was a great sandbox and funny
  • if bcbf3 is made please buff up the magnum rounds they were to weak in bfbc2
  • @5 You mean like they did in BC2 when they completely ignored the story in BC1?
  • Hopefully they don't take too long.
  • Star Wars Battlefront is much more needed at this point in time anyways.
