Rumor: Battlefield V to Return to WW2

Rumor: Battlefield V to Return to WW2

VentureBeat has a screenshot of a title screen for Battlefield V, saying this will be the next installment in Electronic Arts' military shooter series, which will return to the World War II setting. Word is this will be released this year, so we should expect an official announcement before too long. But this is unconfirmed at this point as EA has not yet responded to requests for comment to this news, which is attributed to "sources familiar with EA's plans" who wish to remain anonymous. They say this is an all-new game, rather than a Battlefield 2 remake, and outline the thinking behind the move:

EA and Battlefield developer DICE decided on this strategy several years ago. They knew they wanted to get away from the modern and near-future settings for a while, but it also didn’t want to burn the WWII setting right away. This led the studio to start with WWI knowing that it could always still go to WWII with the next game if Battlefield 1 didn’t work out. Of course, that wasn’t the case — Battlefield I finished 2016 as the No. 2 best-selling game in the United States, according to the industry-tracking firm The NPD Group.

Update: The headline here originally misidentified the franchise in question as Call of Duty. Apologies for the error.
