Regardless of which franchise is borrowing from which, Battlefield will need to find a way to differentiate itself from Modern Warfare regardless. Ground War in a lot of ways emulates Battlefield's Conquest mode, and has been pretty widely enjoyed by fans as well. With game modes like Ground War and the Warzone battle royale, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has also tackled big team battle modes to fans' praise. Not only would over-saturation of modern shooters be a problem, but the Call of Duty franchise has encroached closer to what used to make Battlefield distinctly different from it. Specifically because of the other franchises mentioned above, Call of Duty.

That being said, returning the Battlefield series to a modern setting doesn't come without its challenges. It's not empirical evidence by any means, but Battlefield returning to a modern setting could be the perfect tonal and gameplay shift needed to bring the series back in a big way. Then Call of Duty went back to basics with Modern Warfare, and so far has seen great success, not even counting Warzone. There were a few problems with microtransactions (a prevalent issue back in 2017 for several games), the weapon and perk variety in multiplayer, and story gripes as well. It's not a one-to-one comparison by any means, but it should at least be encouraging for the Battlefield series. The Call of Duty series also put out a WWII shooter in 2017 that, while not exactly as unpopular as Battlefield 5 has become for fans, also had a particularly middling release even for a Call of Duty title. Rival franchise Call of Duty also did something similar, and has seen phenomenal success with its Modern Warfare reboot. Jumping back to a modern time period, as ironic as it may be, could be exactly what the franchise needs for a comeback. Battlefield is in a peculiar position it's honestly never really been in before, where the series got its start simulating battles of WWII but has now seen one of its worst-performing games based in WWII. Some of the most popular games in the franchise like Bad Company 1/2 and Battlefield 3/4 each saw great commercial and critical success depicting modern warfare. Simply put, previous Battlefield games have seen success in a modern setting before so it makes sense to return there. RELATED: Battlefield 6 May Be Returning to Modern Setting Battlefield needs a fresh start, and even though the series started with WWII, a modern setting may be the perfect restart. For a series that's done both historical time periods as well as modern war settings, there's definitely positive and negative points for a modern setting if true. A few leaks and rumors on the internet have come out regarding Battlefield 6, all of which seem to agree the shooter is returning to a contemporary time period.
There's a few options for which setting Battlefield could go next, but the most likely setting is a modern day conflict.

Now the Battlefield franchise has its full focus on the next entry, set to release for PS5 and Xbox Series X in the 2022 fiscal year. As a result, the ambitious roadmap of content updates slowed to a halt and players abandoned the game. Battlefield 5 was the subject to a lot of controversy, some of it unwarranted, but plenty of it absolutely justified. With Battlefield 5 wrapping up its content roadmap this year, DICE and EA are looking to the future.
