4. It’s Not Coming To The Wii U

DICE creative director Lars Gustavsson spoke to VG27 and confirmed that Battlefield 4 won’t be appearing on Nintendo’s Wii U. His comment stated that his company is playing it safe by releasing the game on the PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and possibly next-generation consoles:

I think overall for me as creative director, number one is to deliver a really great game and experience. Sometimes, at least for us, it’s focusing on what you do well and what you know well, and ensuring that you deliver something good than trying a bit too much, stretching yourself too thin and risking it. I’d rather play it safe, deliver something really good and then look at the future and what could possibly be done than trying a bit too hard and [failing].

The game will hit consoles in fall 2013. An online beta for the game will go live sometime this year as well.
