Battlefield studio Ripple Effect is looking to beef up the next entry of this shooter after Battlefield 2042 failed to impress gamers. While most players are hoping Ripple Effect makes a great entry in the series after a disappointing entry, the company wants to make its explosions even more realistic.
EA recently posted a job listing for a VFX director role, where the companies pointed out how they want someone who can make realistic destruction effects. Admittedly, wanting to improve the special effects for a war game isn’t wrong, it’s just that this series has suffered from much worse problems in recent years.
Since this next entry in Battlefield will likely be exclusive to current-gen systems, we wouldn’t be surprised if the shooter ends up looking excellent. Having impressive explosions and destruction effects will sell the current-gen appeal to gamers, though we hope the same care is put into the actual game.
The Battlefield series has been going through a slump, as Ripple Effect has released two bad entries back-to-back. Fans didn’t enjoy Battlefield 2042 or Battlefield V, with most gamers agreeing that these titles feel rushed and just aren’t that fun to play. It’s pretty disappointing, as the shooter was once a competitor to Call of Duty and now most gamers have forgotten about this series.
Ripple Effect and EA won’t be giving up on the series, as its previously acclaimed titles ensure there’s still name value there. It will be interesting to see how EA and Ripple Effect handle the next installment. After all, Call of Duty also had a bad year with Modern Warfare 3, so fans could be interested if the next entry looks better than the previous games.

What we’re trying to say here is that EA and Ripple Effect will have to do more than just improve the destruction effects of their next Battlefield entry. Hopefully, all this time has been put into improving the new entry, giving fans better online modes, and maybe even a proper single-player campaign.
