The Semi Weekly Newsmashup 12, Battlefield and Destiny news!

Article one: Dice confirms it's now working on the next edition in the Battlefield franchise!


 
With the launch of Star Wars Battlefront, development director Dan Vaderlind recently confirmed on Twitter that Dice has begun working the next edition in the Battlefield franchise. "Now that we've shipped Battlefront and a part of the team continues to work on it, I am moving on to another project, the next Battlefield." Though obviously since the game has only recently been announced information on the next Battlefield is thin.
 
But it was confirmed that unlike Battlefield Hardline that focused on Cops and Criminals. The next edition in the Battlefield franchise will return to a military setting. Not only that but EA has stated that they are targeting a holiday 2016 release window for the next edition in the Battlefield franchise.
 
Article two: Destiny will get an update "bigger than anything since The Taken King" in early 2016!


 
After releasing the Taken King and launching year two of Destiny, Bungie quickly changed tactics in regards to downloadable content plans. Instead of paid expansions Bungie is focusing on free content instead. Such as Sparrow Racing or Festival of the Lost. But now Bungie has stated that the rest of Destiny's Year 2 updates will extend far beyond small limited-time events.

Bungie marketing director Eric Osborne said in the studio's latest community update that the studio will be adding new "events, activities, content, and features" "The first of these early 2016 experiences will be on a scale close to Festival of the Lost" Osborne wrote in Bungie's community update. "Far larger than anything you’ve seen since the release of The Taken King. There’s also another significant update to the world and sandbox planned in this same window."

Osborne also confirmed that unlike Destiny's first year, Bungie will be pumping out content much faster and consistently. With three updates currently planned for release in winter and spring of 2016.
