The "response was explosively positive," states Rebecka.

"This whole method has been an innovation but also really exciting because we are partnering with people from around the globe."

As for the pressure on the team, Fas comments: "There is stress but at the same time it's exciting.

"We're dealing with a major venture. It's probably the most significant that many of us have ever worked on."

New Developer Contributes New Perspective

The recent hire produces the lighting elements that shape the tone, style, and narrative of the story mode.

Vlad undertook an work placement at Criterion preceding obtaining a role there, and currently works with reduced hours while concluding his digital arts qualification at his school.

The developer explains he's a dedicated supporter of the Battlefield series, and recalls playing the previous game of the series at a buddy's place when he was a child.
