Battlefield 5 details
29 March 2016
During an investment call last year, EA CFO Blake Jorgensen was laid out the plans for alternating the company’s shooter titles saying: “What we’ve said is that our intention over the next couple of years is to have a first person shooter as one of the core titles. This year, it’s Star Wars Battlefront. Next year, it’s another Battlefield title.” CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed this at the company’s 2016 Q3 earnings call by adding, “an all-new Battlefield game from DICE will arrive in time for the holidays.”
That’s no surprise at all given EA’s increasingly rushed schedule of Battlefield titles (see: BF4 and Hardline) and their prior efforts to alternate annually between Battlefield and the failed Medal of Honor franchise. What is a surprise however is EA announcing that it will not be attending this year’s E3 trade show in June. Instead they’re hosting an event called EA Play during the same time period as E3 in Los Angeles and London where fans can attend and get hands-on with EA’s new projects. Their usual E3 press conference will be moved to EA Play instead where we expect plenty of new game announcements.
The specifics of what they’ll bring – and again, it’s going to be a lot given that they’re funding two major events on their own – is up to speculation but it’s a safe bet Battlefield will play a starring role. There have even been multiple images leaked online that outline Battlefield 5’s potential DLC plans and map names. One image suggests that June 12 (the first day of EA Play and when the press conference is happening) is the date of the official reveal and another gives Battlefield 5 the subtitle of Eastern Front. That may not be the final title of the full game as the list of alleged DLC packs have several other subtitles after Battlefield 5 with only the first being called Eastern Front.
Press Conference Live & Online: June 12, 1 p.m. PT/9 p.m. BST
The question then becomes, what will Battlefield 5 be about and what will it do different? BF4 was practically the same game as BF3 and failed to innovate so will this be more of the same, modern-set, with similar weapons set on new maps? Three years ago, a leaked survey from EA asked questions to fans about ideas for different BF add-on content. The most appealing of them all was the idea of a fun-focused dinosaur mode, a theme fans and the devs have been teasing back and forth for years.
EA also must take into consideration where Battlefield 5 will fit within its own properties. Mass Effect: Andromeda is on the way, as is Titanfall 2 and Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. The former two alongside Battlefield 5 are all confirmed to release in the fiscal year.
