While we've been given an early look at the next Battlefield's game engine, EA hasn't told us when we'll get our first proper look, or when the game will be launched.
So, when can we expect to find out more? In an investors call, company CEO Andrew Wilson has now confirmed the next entry in the mass-scale first-person shooter series will be revealed this Spring, and will follow with a launch this holiday season.
"We'll reveal the game in the spring, and deliver a defining Battlefield experience for our players in the 2021 holiday season."
Wilson further explained how the latest entry would mark a return to "all-out" military warfare - harnessing the power of next-generation platforms - with "more players" than ever before.
"The game takes full advantage of the power of next-generation platforms to bring massive, immersive battles to life with more players than ever before. Featuring maps with unprecedented scale, the next edition of Battlefield takes all the destruction, player agency, vehicle and weapon combat that the franchise is known for and elevates it to another level."
When pressed for more information, the CEO reiterated how the next entry would "usher in a new generation for Battlefield games and Battlefield fans" - with the publisher benefitting from the "full power" of next-generation systems.

"Unprecedented scale" of maps... This doesn't sound promising. The maps in Battlefield 5 are already big. I am excited about the return to, ekhem, modern warfare π
crossplay with pc?? mouse+keyboard support?
I am absolutely shocked and delighted to hear it's coming in the fall. I hope the devs had enough time to work on it lol. I was thinking this was like a year or two away honestly. Really excited, because with no Overwatch 2, I'm left with just Destiny 2 right now, which I still love, but I want another "never-ending" game I can sink my teeth into, and I love Battlefield, so I think this could be it.
Always love me some Battlefield ever since βBF2β. To me BF always blew COD away with the online multiplayer with 32 on 32 and the total chaos & bedlam it brings! Iβve Been juggling between BF4, 1 and 5 for the last year or so and i still go back to BF3 now and then. Hell I even still mess with BF 1943!! Just amazing games. I may suck at them lol but amazing games nonetheless! I recently showed BF to my sonβs friend (theyβre all COD addicts) and he was just amazed at the size of the map!! So as always, Iβm Looking forward to the next BF entry! ππππ
@joey302 I was a cod player till I played battlefield then I thought why have I been playing cod
@sandman89 lol yep! And I think secretly, the COD players fear BF because of the sheer map sizes! π
