The franchise was never really gone, but BF3 served as a semi-relaunch of the core series and an introduction to the impressively upgraded Frostbite game engine. In 2011 Battlefield 3 brought developer DICE's epic multiplayer shooter series back in a big way, quickly becoming the fastest-selling game ever for publisher Electronic Arts. Battlefield 1 is one of the best-looking and most dynamic shooters ever made, and appropriately honors its World War I themes and setting.
