Electronic Arts quietly notannounced a new Battlefield game during their conference call last night, alongside notdelaying BioWare’s Anthem.
Assuming EA follow their traditional Battlefield behaviour, they’ll likely formally announce the game in May or June then release it in mid-to-late October.
However, expansions split communities and, given Wilson’s remarks, I wouldn’t be surprised if Battlefield switches to another form of post-launch monetisation in this or some other future game.
But it sounds like EA are thinking more about shaking up their own game rather than copying someone else’s.
