EA hints that Battlefield 6 is scheduled for 2021
Though not really a surprise, as it has been mentioned a couple of times. Developer house DICE revealed last week that it is working on the latest content update for Battlefield 5. So next would logically be revision 6 of the game series.
Developer house DICE mentioned last week that it is working on the latest content update for Battlefield 5, and said this past Tuesday that its "vision for Star Wars Battlefront II is already complete " with the release of an update this week, called The Battle on Scarif. Finishing work on those two games means the studio will now focus on the next installment in the Battlefield saga.
EA Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen said in October 2019 that the Battlefield 6 release date would take place during EA's 2022 fiscal year, which will begin in April 2021 and last until March 2022. This is a launch window that was reiterated by the company during its January quarterly earnings call. However, such a launch window now appears to last from April through December 2021 , according to an EA statement made Tuesday.
"In the long term, the studio will be focused on the future of Battlefield, which we will bring players into in 2021. ". With all this, EA seems to suggest that the next Battlefield will be out next year. Released in November 2018, Battlefield V was the second consecutive series entry to focus on the World Wars of the early 20th century. Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 both focused on modern day military combat.
We will keep you informed.

I couldn't agree more as if you really notice what the character is that is shooting at you anyway. I'm in my mid 60's and I don't get this bias at all.
You say this as if the game is historically accurate to begin with. It's a game. Get out of your shell and get over it. The fact that you're investing this much emotion into arguing against the inclusion of female characters in a video game is mind-boggling.

Been playing some Battlefield 1942 over the weekend, last time i played was in 2006.
Still a lot of fun, though the game hasn't aged very well controls wise, and most of it can't be changed.
Plenty of servers still packed.

What do you think "historical accuracy" means, exactly? It's not all black and white.
A game can range from being silly and arcadey (like BF Heroes) to hardcore simulators like Arma.
Previous Battlefield games were something in between, and its fans had grown accostumed to a certain degree of historical plausibility.
The problem was never specifically "females" but the addition of content that keeps moving the "plausibility lancet" down.
Whether it's female / cyborg / whacky-tattoed characters, or other features like making all weapons available to all sides... they all, IMHO, push the game in the wrong direction.
All these things are not evil per se, I wouldn't care if they were to be included in other games.
But when it comes to Battlefield, as a long time veteran since BF42, I have (or rather, had) certain expectations - which have not been met in a while.
If I sound emotionally involved it's because I have spent many of my teenage years playing BF42 mods and, having experienced the amazing work that some modders put into the game, I sometimes hope that EA can replicate that, or at the very least give us the tools to achieve so.
Especially considering the availability of modern game engines and vastly improved server / network performance over 15 years ago. So far I've only been disappointed...
