EA Games VP Patrick Soderlund has been talking to OXM about the various projects underway at DICE right now, and it sounds like there’s more going on beyond Battlefield 3 DLC and Battlefield 4. “The DICE guys are roughly 300 people in the Stockholm studio,” said Soderlund. “Not all of them are working on Battlefield things, and that’s intentional, because we don’t want to become a Battlefield factory.”
“The minute we start saying ‘you’re going to make a Battlefield game for the rest of your life’, they’re going to go some place else,” he added. “So for them to make great Battlefield games there need to be other things for them to do as well. That’s why we have people who move around quite a bit.
Update: Regarding those other projects, “Mirror’s Edge 2 is in production at DICE,” says former Battlefield producer Ben Cousins in a tweet spotted by PCGamesN, a fact that is supposedly “general knowledge in the Stockholm dev scene.”
