Battlefield 1 vil blive mere esportsvenligt med tiden

Gamereactor fik en snak med EA's chefi competitive officer Peter Moore til Gamelab 2016, hvor vi talte om alt inden for esport og konkurrencespil. Passion, rækkevidde, engagement, live events, EA's planer og meget mere. Mere specifikt ville vi gerne høre om udgiverens tilgang til konkurrencespil med FIFA og Battlefield-serierne.

Omtrent 9 minutter inde spørger vi Moore om Battlefield 1 er klar til esport ved lanceringen, og om EA overvejer at lægge kræfter i en organiseret liga for spillet, sådan som de gør med FIFA og som Activision har gjort med Call of Duty. Moore teaser en kommende udmelding, men bekræfter også at der er planer om at tilføje et mere konkurrencepræget aspekt til krigsspillet.

"Battlefield 1 has eSports is mind, but one of the great things about our Battlefield series is they last years, and I spoke on stage about millions of people still playing Battlefield 4, and BF4 could be at its best ever right now. With the modes we have in there... Look, we had a rocky start with Battlefield 4, but it's never been better and so many people enjoy playing some of the modes we have in there competitively. The thing you'll see with Battlefield 1 is yes it will have stuff but we will continue to refresh that game over the coming years with a view to how do we make it more competitive gaming-friendly. More to announce on that in the future, but that is the beauty of having online play - not only the fact you and I can play against each other if you're here in Spain and I'm in the US, but we can update the game, and we can deliver new content and new modes very quickly and very easily".

Battlefield 1 udkommer 21. oktober på PC, PS4 og Xbox One.
