Earlier today Battlefield V was officially announced. I mean, we kind of knew there was a new Battlefield game coming, though the name being confirmed as "Battlefield V" is noteworthy.I say it's noteworthy because an earlier rumor said that the name would be Battlefield V, which has now been confirmed. The rumor also said that the game would take place during WWII. That has yet to be confirmed. However, given that the leaked image in the rumor utilizes the same color scheme as the official announcement, seen above, it does lend a fair bit of support to the WWII claim.
Anyway, back to the news of the day. Though there isn't much to go on right now, DICE and EA said that there will be a live reveal of Battlefield V on May 23 at 4PM (ET). You will be able to see this reveal via YouTube, Mixer, Twitch, or the Battlefield website.
On this date, the Battlefield V team "will share their vision."
Battlefield V. 5. 5 follows 4. Battlefield 4. Four times five is 20. Vision. 20/20 vision. Eyes. Ocular. Oculus Rift. BATTLEFIELD V IS A VR GAME EXCLUSIVE TO THE OCULUS RIFT!!! Nailed it.
The big rumor is that it's not going to be like Bad Company, which is strange because that series seems to have just fallen away. Maybe Battlefront has taken it's place and DICE or EA decided there are already enough "modernish" shooters in its line up.
Single player will be like BF1s with different jumps across theaters with specific characters for that one instance. I'm not surprised they decided to keep that style because it was the first single player DICE made that was worth anything, with BF4 being terribad. There was no character development, but I think that was OK.
My personal take is that it will be a WW2 game. Some rumors said it was for Vietnam, but that would really limit maps unless they did some Battlefield: Cold War thing where you are rebel fighters in all these different areas. With WW2 you have the entire world again and many different factions to build on.
So WW2 it is, unless its some steampunk future thing
