New Battlefield’s Release Date Announced

"EA announces a the next game in the Battlefield series will be release in the fall of 2016."
The next Battlefield game dubbed "Battlefield 5" won't be released until the last quarter of 2016, roughly two years from now, EA has announced today.
EA CEO Andrew Wilson revealed during a conference call earlier today that the release of the next Battlefield game will be coming later than most fans expected. Battlefield 4 is still adding new players and engaging existing fans a year after launch according to Wilson. "As a result of the extended services and content updates that we provide, it's clear that players want to experience the games we're delivering for longer periods of time. Looking into next year, we will ensure that our players have enough time between releases to fully explore the depth and innovation in our shooter titles."

With Hardline being put back until March 17, 2015 we won't see another Battlefield game pushed out just six or seven months later, as some fans worried. "Following this launch, our next Battlefield experience is planned planned for launch in Q3 FY17," Wilson said, referencing the period that spans October-December 2016. "We want to give Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline players more time to enjoy these games and immerse themselves in a game, the live service, and the community."
This announced timeline for the next Battlefield puts about a year and a half between releases but would mean that new Battlefield games debuted in consecutive years.
EA also announced that DICE's Star Wars Battlefront will have a holiday 2015 release.

I'm a lifelong gamer and share my passion with the world in the form of streaming my games on twitch.tv - www.twitch.tv/terrorhertz and making YouTube videos about all the games I enjoy. I'm also a budding games journalist here :)

My gaming journey began in the Christmas 1992 when aged 6, I got my Sega Mega Drive with Sonic One and World Cup Italia 90. Since then I have played and own pretty much every console since then, just check my collection video on my YouTube channel.

Now days I mainly play PC games and got into the PC side of things when I started playing Everquest in 2005. This game opened my eyes to the mmorpg genre and since then have played most MMO's of which World of Warcraft was my most played. Right now I'm playing and streaming DayZ and FIFA with a few other games thrown in here and there. I'm a games journalist and write weekly articles and monthly reviews and previews whilst also uploading 3+ videos weekly to my YouTube channel where you can find loads of awesome HD gaming videos - www.youtube.com/terrorhertzhd

I've worked as a hardware/software technician for Apple the past 4 years and really enjoy working with computers. I have built/modded/overclocked PC's since around 2007 and it's a massive interest of mine. My other hobbies include video editing, carp fishing, golf and playing guitar.
