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.

Better be a modern shooter, closer to the experience of BF3/BC2 tbh.

The only reason for me to jump on the BF-bandwagon again, would be if EA DICE made another game with full mod support.

A good setting would be the 100 years war. They would have a lot of material with that one.

I think the War of 1812 would be cool, though I do not play these games.

BF5 was a sham. No naval combat, no soviet front - you know, where the majority of action took place, forceful inclusion of female characters to make SJWs happy, and the list goes on...

What is actually your problem with the inclusion of female characters? realism?
