Electronic Arts announced today that it has partnered with Industrial Toys to make a new Battlefield game for mobile devices. The title will launch in 2022.

The big game publisher has seen the results of getting a mobile version right — by watching the success of rival Activision with its 300 million downloads of Call of Duty: Mobile. EA’s DICE studio in Sweden will work with Industrial Toys, which Halo co-creator Alex Seropian and Tim Harris founded. EA bought Industrial Toys in 2018. It’s a growing sign of mobile’s importance to traditional triple-A game publishers as the biggest revenue generator among game platforms. And it shows EA’s own efforts to make big moves into mobile games, as the publisher recently bought Glu for $2.4 billion.
