"Battlefield 5" is said to be rolled out in 2016; however, fans are still waiting for the official release date details from EA DICE. Despite the company's silence regarding the upcoming release of the highly anticipated fourth sequel of the series, it is still one of the most popular subjects for rumors and speculations all around the Internet.

Fans were hoping that EA DICE would release a video trailer of the upcoming game, especially after the announcement of the company's Senior Video and Media Director, Ryan Evans.

Evans tweeted on his personal Twitter account in February that fans can expect a big reveal.

"A BIG trailer is dropping this week......people don't even know what's coming ;) 'hypehypehype'," wrote the Senior Video and Media Director.

A lot of fans thought that Evans was talking about "Battlefield 5;" however, the company has a different plan â€“ they released a trailer of the upcoming open-world action-adventure, "Mirror's Edge: Catalyst." The game is set to be released on May 24.

Meanwhile, popular video game analyst, Michael Pachter, recently told Gaming Bolt that "Battlefield 5" will be the best shooting game to come out this year. He added that the game will definitely be a treat to the fan favorite, "Call of Duty."

"Of course it will be [a threat]," said the popular video game analyst. "I just think that there's less overall competition. Battlefield 5 itself will be great- it's just that last year there were five games that took 60 million units of sales- Halo, Fallout, Battlefront, Assassin's Creed, and Call of Duty. This year, on the other hand, there are only four games, and one of them, Mafia 3, isn't as big as the smallest of those others. So if Mafia offsets Assassin's Creed, and Battlefield does Battlefront... then Watch Dogs is competing for Fallout's share, and what happens to Halo's share? It needs to go somewhere, so it should be good for everybody."

Fans will just have to wait to find out if "Battlefield 5" will live up to its expectation once it hits the market.
