Battlefield: Bad Company 3 will happen

DICE has confirmed that Battlefield: Bad Company 3 will happen in the future.

The Swedish-based studio is currently focusing on Battlefield 3, Mirrors Edge 2 and Star Wars: Battlefront, but that doesn't mean the Bad Company series has been forgotten about.

"My feeling is that I would love to do [Bad Company 3]," Battlefield 4 creative director Lars Gustavsson told reporters [via Polygon].

"For me, when we started the company with 1942, it was really a work of passion. And then we worked our way through the era of different wars, and I loved them all, like my little babies.

"When it came to Bad Company, it was creative freedom; don't take yourself too seriously.

"So I love it. I want to see it again. Whether it can happen [right] now with the newly announced Mirrors Edge 2 and Star Wars: Battlefront... but we'll see.

"But trust me, the Bad Company [team] isn't forgotten, they are just on a very long vacation. So they are out there, they're coming back."

Due to the company's expansion a new DICE LA studio was opened earlier this year in place of Medal of Honor: Warfighter developer Danger Close.
