“The Bad Company [team] isn’t forgotten, they are just on a very long vacation,” says DICE creative director.

 

A third title in the Battlefield: Bad Company series will happen, DICE creative director Lars Gustavsson has said.

“My feeling is that I would love to do it. For me, when we started the company with 1942, it was really a work of passion,” said Gustavsson at a press event reported by Polygon.

“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.”

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was released in 2010 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC, following the 2008 original in the offshoot series. The games cast players as Private Preston Marlowe, and featured a comedic cast of supporting characters in Private Terrence Sweetwater, George Gordon Haggard Jr., and squad leader Sergeant Samuel D. Redford.

“So I love it. I want to see it again,” continued Gustavsson, “whether it can happen [right] now with the newly announced Mirrors Edge 2 and Star Wars: Battlefront… but we’ll see.”

EA’s E3 2013 press conference in June unveiled both Mirror’s Edge 2 and Star Wars: Battlefront, with both next-gen titles in development at DICE alongside the upcoming Battlefield 4. EA later said that it plans to rotate between Battlefield, Titanfall, and Star Wars: Battlefront as the publisher’s main annual shooter.

EA has previously said that Bad Company 3 is not in active development at present.

“But trust me, the Bad Company [team] isn’t forgotten, they are just on a very long vacation,” he continued,” concluded Gustavsson. “They are out there, they’re coming back.”
