In an interview with Eurogamer , CEO Karl- Magnus Troedsson revealed that the game is still in progress and a small team has been working on the second installment to 'create the perfect game.'
He said, "We realized this is going to take some time for us, so we basically said, let's take the time and perhaps have a little bit of a smaller team over a longer period of time."
He further adds that DICE is trying to "remove a bit of frustration" from the first title's clunky controls.
"We really want to continue doing that but removing a bit of the frustration that came with that in the first game," Troedsson said. "We're focusing on first-person combat this time around to make sure we bring that experience into something that is really fun and accessible."
