EA Unveils Major Restructuring Plan Amidst Battlefield 6 Turmoil

The struggling developers behind Battlefield 6 have been hit with an unspecified number of layoffs across various EA studios, including Criterion and Dice, which are among those most closely associated with the game. Despite a record-breaking launch that was touted as one of the biggest in franchise history, EA has confirmed that it is undertaking significant changes to its Battlefield organization. The company’s Vice President for Corporate Communications, Justin Higgs, said only that the restructuring efforts were aimed at “better aligning our teams around what matters most to our community”. The extent of the layoffs remains unclear, but sources suggest that numerous employees have lost their jobs in recent weeks. It is not yet clear whether these cuts are a result of poor sales or other factors that may be affecting the game’s commercial performance. Battlefield 6 was released to widespread critical acclaim and commercial success, with many praising its improved gameplay mechanics and immersive multiplayer experience. However, despite this, EA has been tight-lipped about the financial performance of the game and has not provided any further details on the impact of the restructuring efforts.
