This game has never quite been able to equal its best-known opponent in regards of sales or user base, but there are signs the latest version could close the gap.

An early access session enabling gamers a chance to try out the release earlier this year set new benchmarks, and the excitement heading into its debut has been huge.

Yet the undertaking is nevertheless a major risk for publisher its creators, which has allegedly spent huge sums of money developing it.

Reporters have communicated to some of the developers to find out how they expect it will be profitable.

Learning From Previous Errors

The new release arrives after the release of the sci-fi Battlefield 2042, published previously to a unfavorable reception it struggled to bounce back from.

A key those lessons was to get the community participating early, and the team started exclusive community playtests in recent months.

Their "reaction was extremely favorable," comments the manager.

One more absent ingredient from the previous installment was a story mode, which has been brought back this time around.

In spite of claims that the scale of the game had created pressure for the multiple teams working together internationally to develop the project, Fas is positive about the process.

"Working with different cultures, varied backgrounds, it's a really interesting setting to be involved in every day," he explains.

"This whole approach has been something new but something truly exciting because we are collaborating with individuals from all over the world."

Regarding the anticipation on the developers, he says: "We feel stress but at the same time it's motivating.

"It's a big undertaking. It's probably the most significant that most of us have before participated in."
