There is a new “Battlefield" game coming in 2016. Game developer EA announced that the next addition to the franchise is already in the works.

Blake Jorgensen, chief financial officer at EA, confirmed the next game in the “Battlefield” series.

“What we’ve said is that our intention over the next couple of years is to have a first-person shooter as one of the core titles. This year it’s Star Wars: Battlefront. Next year, it’s another Battlefield title,” Jorgensen said in an IGN report.

In October 2014, Andrew Wilson, CEO of EA, talked about a new “Battlefield” title.

“Battlefield 4 continues to add players and engage existing fans a year after launch. 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,” Wilson said in another Game Spot report.

Game Rant wrote that after "Battlefield 4” in 2013, EA produced “Battlefield Hardline,” which presented an exciting adventure featuring cops and robbers. Players are anticipating what the next game will be like, although there are talks that the game might return to a military-style theme. Gamers also shared how they wanted the next “Battlefield” to have a World War II setting. It is unlikely that the next title will have a future setting, since there are already a lot of titles coming out in 2015 that have such an environment like “Star Wars Battlefront” and “Call of Duty: Black Ops 3”.

“Star Wars: Battlefront” is currently in development under DICE, the same team that brought the core entries in the “Battlefield” series. “Battlefield 4” was received with mixed reactions from players, so many are hoping that EA will learn much from 2013 title in developing the prequel. The development team expects “Battlefront” to rake in millions of dollars in sales in the few months after the official launch late in 2015.

PC Gamer wrote that plans for a new “Battlefield” in 2016 may mean other things. It is possible that the next game will be “Battlefield 5” developed by DICE. At present, EA has three big shooter series, namely “Battlefield”, “Battlefront” and “Titanfall”.

More news and details about the title and gameplay are expected in the coming months.
