Next Battlefield Game Aims for Industry-Leading Destruction Effects

Ripple Effect, EA's Battlefield support studio, is hiring a VFX Director to create unprecedented destruction effects, signaling a return to the series' roots.

EA's Battlefield support studio, Ripple Effect, is hiring for a VFX Director to create 'the most realistic and exciting destruction effects in the industry' for an upcoming project.
The job listing doesn't provide insight into what the studio is working on, but EA's CEO, Andrew Wilson, has stated that the Battlefield series remains a 'meaningful part' of EA's future.
The next Battlefield game is expected to be a 'reimagination' with a 'connected ecosystem,' a concept that has yet to win over fans.
The Finals, a shooter game developed by former Battlefield developers at Embark Studios, has set a high bar for destruction physics in the industry, gaining 10 million players just 15 days after its stealth launch.
The next Battlefield installment will likely focus more on destruction effects, a shift from Battlefield 2042's focus on map-specific extreme weather events.
