EA announced back in early February that it would be officially unveiling the next Battlefield game in the Spring, and now it looks like May is the month in which we'll finally get a look at the 2021 title.
This has been suggested by reliable industry insider Jeff Grubb as part of the GamesBeat Decides podcast, where he explained that as far as he knows, the current plan is for a reveal sometime in May.
"May. Let's add some colour to that... probably May. Things are still fluid, they haven't announced anything publicly yet, but my understanding is they're probably looking at May."
"I think Battlefield 2021 should get revealed before the general E3 timeframe. So before June, I think that means May, is what it seems like to me. That's not a guarantee or anything, but probably May."
We don't know much about the next Battlefield as of yet, but it's rumoured to be a cross-gen game that will return to a modern Battlefield 3 inspired setting, complete with multiplayer matches of up to 128 players.
Need for Speed developer Criterion was recently moved onto the project to assist EA's "fatigued" DICE team, with EA stating at the time that it has "a great game and some incredible potential with this game."

How much did Criterion progress with the next NFS?
Can they complete the rest and release a stellar game by Nov'22?
That is if they are relieved from the BF development duties by Nov'21.

NFS was original due out this fall.. so it is possible that come November if they move them back to NFS they could have it out in 2022..
But again covid has messed up alot of things with gaming and if EA say was planning fallen order 2 for 2022 and fallen behind they could be shifted to whatever project is there.
It's scary to think but we may not see nearly as many AAA titles for tbenext 2-4 years due to how covid had stalled gaming
