It\u2019s called <em>Titanfall<\/em>, it\u2019s the second title that they brought into that brand. Both of those are first-person shooters and will be targeted around the fast, action-driven shooter market, as well as the strategy-driven market in that quarter,\u201d said Jorgensen \u2013 thanks <a href=\"http:\/\/wccftech.com\/mass-effect-andromeda-release-2017-titanfall-2-battlefield-5-year\/\" target=\"_blank\">WCCF Tech<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>EA\u2019s third quarter takes place between October 1<sup>st<\/sup> and December 31<sup>st<\/sup>, putting both <em>Battlefield 5 <\/em>and <em>Titanfall 2\u2019s <\/em>release firmly within 2016.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, <em>Mass Effect Andromeda<\/em> has been pushed into 2017, releasing during EA\u2019s fourth quarter. \u201cAnd then we have <em>Mass Effect<\/em>, which is a sci-fi action game, in our fourth quarter,\u201d continued Jorgensen.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a lot to be excited about during this and early next year.<\/p>\n<p>Now, of course, there\u2019s a rumour going around that <em>Battlefield 5<\/em>\u2014also nicknamed <em>Battlefield 2016<\/em>, until DICE confirms otherwise\u2014is going to be based in World War 1. We doubt it.<\/p>\n<p>World War 1 is not a good fit for the <em>Battlefield <\/em>formula \u2013 that is, armoured vehicles, aircraft, tactical squad play and coordination between each.<\/p>\n<p>War World 1 was a lot of standing around in trenches, artillery batteries, the odd cavalry charge and unwieldy machine gun nests \u2013 a lot of which will alienate current fans of the series.<\/p>\n<p>As for <em>Titanfall 2<\/em> and <em>Mass Effect Andromeda<\/em>, well we don\u2019t know much about either. Employees within EA, DICE and Respawn have said great things about each title, but we can\u2019t recall any developer trashing their game before a reveal.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>In other news<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/86682-mobile-games-that-offer-a-console-experience.html\">Mobile games that offer a console experience<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/86674-games-we-cant-wait-to-play-this-month.html\">Games we can\u2019t wait to play this month<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/86662-forza-motorsport-6-apex-free-and-for-pc.html\">Forza Motorsport 6: Apex, free and for PC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/86646-ghosts-2-allegedly-the-next-call-of-duty.html\">Ghosts 2 is allegedly the next Call of Duty<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During a Media &#038; Telecom Conference, EA\u2019s Chief Financial Officer, Blake Jorgensen, confirmed the release window for a number of their biggest hitters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":221,"featured_media":86696,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[16681,13062,175,813,14382,17428,17426],"class_list":["post-86692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-battlefield-2016","tag-battlefield-5","tag-ea","tag-electronic-arts","tag-mass-effect-andromeda","tag-release-window","tag-titanfall-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/221"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
