'Battlefield 5' updates news 2016: EA to announce game's status during Play event?
The highly successful game developer company Electronic Arts will be holding its annual EA Play event this coming June, and many video game fans are speculating that one of the featured games in the said event is the long-awaited new entry in the "Battlefield" game series. Dubbed as "Battlefield 5," the yet-to-be-confirmed video game is one of the most anticipated game offerings of EA this year. Long-time fans of the "Battlefield" game series believe that this year would be the right time for EA to unveil the supposed fifth installment while the fans of the franchise are still rooting for the game.
The anticipation for "Battlefield 5" by the fans for this year may all be wishful thinking as EA has already revealed the lineup of video games to be featured during the EA Play event. As the company has indicated on its official website, EA is planning to showcase its upcoming video game "Titanfall 2," along with three other huge games at the Play event. While "Battlefield 5" is not included in the list, there is still a chance that EA will drop a few hints about the game during the event as they have stated before that they will be sharing more news at the EA Play event in London and Los Angeles. There is still a possibility that EA will be mentioning about "Battlefield 5" since the upcoming Play event in Los Angeles will last for three days, thus giving extra time for them to cite other information about their other games.
While EA has been very quiet regarding their plans for a new "Battlefield" video game, there is no stopping the fans from finding sources in the internet and passing on rumors to each other. Last year, a listing from the IMBd website revealed an upcoming game that was called "Battlefield 5: Armageddon." The IMBd page for the supposed new "Battlefield" game was taken down, although Gamezone was able to take a screenshot of the page for the fans' reference. In the deleted IMBd page, "Battlefield 5: Armageddon is set to be released on Nov. 23.
Another rumor circulating the internet is that "Battlefield 5" will be released as early as June 12. This was revealed by a Reddit user "Koxin" according to a report from Yibada. In his post, he claimed that he knows about the development of the anticipated game and shared a bunch of fresh information about it, although these details are unverified. The only catch in the Reddit user's revelation is that the information he shared regarding the release date matches the scheduled EA Play, since the first day of the event is also set on June 12.
It should be kept in mind that EA has not given an official statement or confirmation about the development and launching of "Battlefield 5." Verified information regarding the company's future projects will be revealed as the EA Play event closes in.
