"We most likely would not be able to build and design this new game without the lessons we gained in Battlefield 2042," Rebecka tells us.
Among those takeaways was to engage players involved soon, and the studio initiated exclusive player trials in recent months.
The "reaction was incredibly encouraging," says Rebecka.
Another absent ingredient from the last game was a single-player campaign, which has been reintroduced this time around.
The Guildford team project head Fasahat "Fas" Salim is the one tasked with "making sure those levels are as fun and engaging as possible for the audience."
In spite of reports that the scope of the title had challenged the various developers collaborating across continents to build the game, the director is upbeat about the work.
"Collaborating with varied cultures, varied heritages, it's a very fascinating environment to be engaged with on a regular basis," he shares.
"This whole method has been a fresh take but also very exciting because we are partnering with individuals from all over the world."
As for the expectation on the developers, he says: "We feel demand but also it's motivating.
"It's a large project. It's likely the most significant that most of us have previously been involved in."
Emerging Talent Adds Fresh View
This is certainly correct of at least an individual staff, lighting artist Vlad Kokhan.
The 21-year-old creates the lighting elements that define the tone, tone, and direction of the single-player campaign.

The developer says he's a long-time supporter of the games, and recollects enjoying the previous game of the franchise at a pal's home when he was younger.
To be on it at present, as his first career position, "doesn't feel real."
