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.

These games are just getting tired for me. I usually buy them when discounted, play for a few days, and then drop them because I'm bored with it. Not really sure what they can do that they haven't already done, but they used to be a must buy for myself and friends. No one I game with plays them anymore. Maybe I'm just losing interest in the FPS genre. Been there done that is my feeling and I think others are experiencing the same.

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.
Too bad EA only focuses on what makes the most money fastest, and if Nazis, Soviets, Muslims, or imperialist Japanese aren't the primary enemy, it's "too risky". Also, they don't want a lot of material, they want just enough to stick a $60+ price tag that people will actually pay for.
Just as well though - I'm bored of the same old conflicts, and I don't want original/interesting ideas like yours being ruined by EA.

If they build in heavy security like encrypted packets etc I may think about it. The hacking in BF5 was annoying. I suspect casuals didnt notice but those of us who were pretty good it was frustrating. Way to many people running ESP type hacks. ESP makes it where you see every enemy even behind cover with boxes highlinghtin locatinos. With how cover worked so well in BF5 this made you pretty unstoppable. That and the guys running intelligent auto aim where every 3rd or 4th bullet hits.
