DICE shift focus to Battlefield 5

DICE is now pushing ahead with development on Battlefield 5, news we’re all undoubtedly unsurprised by.

According to a Tweet by DICE development director Dan Vaderlind, with Star Wars Battlefront having hit the shelves, the team is shifting its attention over to “the next Battlefield”.

Now that we’ve shipped Battlefront and a part of the team continues to work on it, I am moving on to another project, the next Battlefield..

Unlike Activision’s annual Call of Duty counterpart, EA has had a tendency to release Battlefield games every two years: Battlefield 3 came in 2011, Battlefield 4 in 2013 and Battlefield Hardline earlier this year.

While Hardline was considered more of a spin-off, the next primary instalment, Battlefield 5, is set for release in 2016.

And if you were wondering if Battlefield 5 may take another themed-slant like Hardline’s cops and robbers setting, an interview late last year said that it “will be a return to a Battlefield military-style game” with “more features, more extras, and more destruction.”
