Battlefield is gearing up to take the crown of destruction king, with a new job posting pointing toward an explosive return to the franchise’s glory days of destruction galore.

TheBattlefieldseries is one of FPS’ most storied franchises. Aside from its slower and more “realistic” style of play, at its peak, the FPS was known for its absurd destruction mechanics, letting players transform the “battlefield” into their virtual playground.

It seems EA and DICE are looking to return to the ways of old, with a new job posting indicating the next entry will deliver the “most realistic destruction effects in the industry.”
