If recent job listings are anything to go by, DICE may be developing a multiplayer-based Battlefield title for both mobile and handheld platforms. Three job ads posted on EA’s careers page confirm that DICE is looking for “handheld” programmers to help “expand [the studio’s products] outside the HD platforms and deliver the same quality experience on mobile devices.”
One job position explains that potential employees will “design, develop and support online features such as authentication, matchmaking, server browser, statistics, etc. for DICE’s future products.” Another job advert says that potential applicants will be responsible for “all aspects of the user interface concerning the application front-end, e.g., End-of-Round Screens, score boards, server browsers, etc.”
Those looking to apply to the aforementioned positions will have to be experienced with at least one mobile platform in the form of iOS or Android.
