Three Battlefield games are going away as things wind down for them

Electronic Arts and DICE have announced that on April 28th, three classic Battlefield games, well two classics and one people tend to forget exists, will be removed from sale.

Battlefield Bad Company, Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 1943 will be taken from sale, but all owners will be able to redownload in the future. Here is part of the statement that the team released around the announcement.

Starting April 28 2023, Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield: Bad Company 1 & 2 will be removed from digital storefronts and you will no longer be able to purchase them. This is in preparation for the retirement of the online services for these titles which will happen on December 8 2023. For Bad Company 1 & 2, you can still continue playing them and use their respective offline features, such as the single player campaign. You can also read our FAQ and Service Updates for further information on the retirement of online services.

While these titles hold a special place in our heart, we’re now looking forward to creating new memories alongside you as we shift our focus towards our current and future Battlefield experiences.
