Battlefield 1 was a big success for EA, though it’s about time for the next game in the series to take the mantle. It looks like some new information on the game has been let out of the bag, with the game apparently being called Battlefield V and set during World War 2.
This information comes via VentureBeat, who notes that the game was originally called Battlefield 2. However, since there is already a Battlefield 2 in the series, the name Battlefield V is being used to avoid confusion. It really isn’t a surprise that a new game will be coming out, especially considering that EA themselves have said in the past that they plan on releasing a new game in the series this October. However, this will be the first time we’ve heard legitimate sources talk about the title and era.
This news may come as a disappointment for some, as many were hoping that the next game would be Bad Company 3. However, there is some good news to share for fans holding out hope for that game. VentureBeat added that EA is aware of the demand for that game, and is keeping it on the back burner in case of a “strategic shift” being needed in the future.
This is all a rumor at this point, so take all of this with a grain of salt. However, these are some pretty solid sources that we have here, so it’s definitely something to keep an eye on. We’ll likely have much more information on Battlefield V as we inch closer to E3 2018.
