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.
