Yeah, so it's like an EA made an announcement about an announcement ? Anyway EA and DICE will Arts announce that the next Battlefield game will be revealed on Friday, May 6th.

The announcement came on the franchise's official site, with a count down ponting to 4 PM Eastern Time. The world premiere will be livestreamed, and will stars the lead development team. Unfortunately, EA's ship seems to be far less leaky than Activision's, as the existence of the world premiere event is just about all the information we have regarding the next entry in the Battlefield series. An explosion of some nature is all we can see on the event page, but some fans think the phrase 'the future of Battlefield' might be a hint as to the setting of the sequel.

Could 2016's Battlefield be the long-awaited followup to Battlefield 2142? It's certainly a possibility, but there have also been rumors that the next Battlefield will return to World War I or World War II. In other words, unless there's a major leak between now and next Friday, we're going to have to wait and see.

Oh god i hope it is a sequel to BF 2142. I have missed that game so much since they killed the servers.

Indeed best game in the series thus far so many hrs clocked up, i'd like a WW1 era battlefield but choice would be 2143 for sure. Mechwarriors and glorious hover tanks tho not that rubbish **** in BF4 final stand omg.

Last time I was stupid enough to pre-order and paid 70€ for deluxe edition. What did I get? A choppy, crashing game play and few retarded battlepacks. Never again.
