The Road That Leads Here Is Not Very Straight
This is not the first time that other studios have helped make a film The battlefield the gameand credits to Criterion Games and Ripple Effect Battlefield 2042 their presence is enough to prove that the game does not guarantee success. However, the new effort feels more organized and can hopefully allow each studio to bring more voices to the game.
