Battlefield V Officially Announced By EA

Battlefield's next game has been announced.

127 Comments

After much speculation, EA has finally announced Battlefield V. Little else is known as yet about the upcoming shooter, though this is the first time the company has confirmed the name of the next Battlefield title.

"The next chapter of EA DICE's groundbreaking all-out war saga is Battlefield V," reads a statement on the official Battlefield website. The statement goes on to confirm the game's full reveal is slated for May 23 at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 9 PM BST (2 PM AET).

Now Playing: Battlefield V Officially Confirmed By EA - GS News Update

No Caption Provided

The reveal event will be hosted by TV presenter and comedian Trevor Noah. The stream, which will be hosted on YouTube, Twitch, and Mixer, will feature the development team sharing their vision for the game. As yet, we don't know which platforms the game is coming to, or precisely when it will launch; EA had, however, previously stated a Battlefield game was coming this fall.

The title "Battlefield V" previously leaked from multiple sources. Those same sources stated the game is set in the Second World War, though EA has not confirmed this as yet. Whatever the game's setting, it will be playable in June at the publisher's own EA Play event.

If EA does return to WWII, it will be the first in the series set during that era in a while: the last game set during the conflict was 2009's Battlefield 1943. The last Battlefield game was of course 2016's Battlefield 1, and the WWI game proved to be very popular with fans and critics alike.

Since it says Battlefield 5 I REALLY hope it's not WW2 , People should be happy with BF1 stick with it and play that era, Most of People Want current era max +10 year or something.

I'm still having fun with BF1's multiplayer. WWI setting was so awesome and in my opinion brilliantly covered in this game, and i'm hoping they try some new setting this time again, like maybe American Civil War, or a mix of civil wars around the world. WWII is already too much used.

Who care when it will be released. Question is, when will it be complete? Likely sometime around mid 2020.

Secondly, what is it with this stupid industry and making spectacles out of reveal dates? We need to hype the reveal of a reveal? Has the "gaming" populace become this friggen moronic?

Rhetorical question, as it's obvious that it has. Otherwise, companies wouldn't do this trash. If you are seriously that addicted to games, that you hang on every single little marketing tactic they throw at you? You may want to seek professional help.

Hopefully we don't get stuck with a repetitive shovel animation with yet another already kicked dead horse war era game.

Meh the series lost it's magic along time ago now it's just a arcady twitch shooter like COD. DICE will never go back to the the Battlefield 2 gameplay so this series is dead to me. Pretty graphics and destruction wouldn't make this a impulse purchase anymore I learned my lesson with BF1 never again.

This is just gonna be a Reskin of bf1, similar as what bf4 was to bf3. Not much point in getting the next iteration if it’s on the same console cycle

Why do a Roman numeral for the 5 when all others were otherwise? If I was making a game about Vietnam that also happens to be the 5th game in a series I’d put a big ol’ V in the title...Could it be?!

@phoenixo2o: Also: the V could be related to "V for Victory," a rallying cry from World War II.

It’s so weird that they went with a roman numeral, as the other entries didn’t (I don’t think). I hate when movies do that, too. Yeah, I know, what a weird thing to complain about.

I'd rather see DICE finally develop a sequel to RalliSport Challenge instead of yet another Battle* game. They'd obviously have to call it something else since Microsoft still owns the copyright on RSC.

@itchyflop:

I would love to see another BF2142 but I think it's only a dream now. I enjoyed the game for years and I still enjoy it but apparently it was a flop (????), a lot of people told me to never expect a remake/reboot or a sequel because the game didn't do well.

BF stopped being good after BF Vietnam.

But a big round of applause to the many many easily amused simpletons that value zebra weapon skins over lenghty well made SP campaigns....

@bongaconga: BF has never been about SP campaigns. And if all you took from recent BFs multiplayer was zebra skins then you're being very narrow minded.

Why don't devs just name their games from "1,2,3". Instead of "What every sounds cool and hip, with the kids"?

@illegal_peanut: I think a number 5 would sound and feel like a direct sequel to BF4, set in modern times. The V allows them to continue the number sequence while breaking the sequel chain. V is most certainly for Victory, in direct reference to WW2.
