DICE Reveals Details of Environmental Destructibility in Upcoming Battlefield

The developers shared details about the destruction system in the upcoming part of the cult series. According to a post on Reddit, the team intends to return to the roots of the franchise, giving players unlimited freedom in changing the game landscape. The inspiration was the destruction mechanics from Battlefield: Bad Company 2, where almost any object on the map could be destroyed.

In the new Battlefield, destruction will become more detailed and interactive. Buildings will be destroyed gradually, like an apple losing layers as it is eaten. The developers pay special attention to visual and sound effects so that players immediately understand which objects are subject to destruction. At the same time, buildings can be destroyed not only with explosives – heavy weapons and even small arms can damage buildings, which opens up new tactical possibilities.

The game is currently in the active testing stage. The first gaming sessions revealed problems with weapon balance, movement mechanics and server stability, but the developers have already made the necessary adjustments. The official title and exact release date have not yet been revealed, but publisher EA has confirmed that the game will be released before April 2026.
