EA announces Battlefield V next Wednesday (updated)
On May 23 the next entry in the Battlefield series is (likely) to be announced. An Easter Egg in Battlefield 1 already indicated a reveal date. Battlefield 1 fans discovered an Easter egg in the game that was a message written in Morse code that revealed: "Battlefield will never be the same" along with the May 23 date.
“With our next Battlefield game, the team at Dice is bringing the intensity of combat to life in new and unexpected ways,” said EA CEO Andrew Wilson. “Every battle is unique, and every mode brings its own challenges – from the way you interact with the environment around you, to compelling single-player stories, to the next level of large-scale multiplayer that spans across multiple maps and modes.
“This will be a deep and fully-featured shooter and ongoing service that will evolve with major new experiences for our community, beginning right from launch. This new game will advance the state of the art for the franchise, while still delivering the signature gameplay and Battlefield moments that have captivated and grown our global community.”
Update: The EA hype-train has started, easter eggs, and announcements and virals about announcements. However it is now confirmed, EA will announce Battlefield V next Wednesday (23rd), which is now confirmed by the publisher. The announcement was made via a live stream Wednesday evening via YouTube and Twitch.
"On the 23rd of May we will reveal your next trip to the total war", states the Battlefield website.
Last week, thanks to a long-hidden in-game Easter egg in Battlefield 1 that got uncovered, a clue led towards an EA website located at ea.com/neverbethesame. Here it appears that EA will be giving more information on the next Battlefield (conveniently called Battlefield V for now) on May 23. The website itself doesn’t reveal anything else though. The background is a simple blue with May 23, 2018 and #battlefield on it. You can see all the work need to access the easter egg in the video below, by YouTuber Westie.

Looking forward to this Battlefield V, and curious as to what it'll be like. I've never ever played any Battlefield game before, not until the last 6 weeks or so, but recently bought Battlefield 1 and really enjoying the Team Deathmatch, the larger scale battles in some of the other game modes seem random to me and like meat grinders (but I probably need to learn the maps better in order to develop better tactics) - previous to that I'm a massive Titanfall nut, was pretty damn good at Titanfall; Battlefield 1 has been a major learning curve as completely different, getting better though & still enjoying - looking forward to what Battlefield V will bring!

This is the same losing formula that was started with bf3 and I was never gullible enough to go through bf4 or bf1 you have the best game engine yet you can't improve the servers and allow third parties and communities to actually flourish you greedy formulaic corporation. This is a business transaction and nothing more the games will be artificially held back and never improve to what it could be. Same story with Battlefront. Dlc death by a thousand cuts and tiny tickrate servers.

Jackfrags did the walkthrough for the easter egg dogtag. At the end it plays the classic 1942 music. Then we see a skeleton arm on a morse code sender. Makes you think back to how much freedom the devs had. Perhaps they regret merging with EA?

Bought BF3 - skipped BF4 because I was afraid it was going to be all the same. Bought BF1 - will skip BF5.
Unless it's Bad Company 3... but given the state of the late Battlefield games and EA's greediness, even that will be ruined.
