EA Dice will reveal a new Battlefield game this Friday, May 6th. The Battlefield website is currently counting down to the date after which a first teaser video is likely to be released. The setting of this new Battlefield game is still under wraps though rumors indicate that the series may go back to the first World War. The closest the Battlefield franchise has ever come to the rumored setting was Battlefield 1942, the first game in the franchise, that featured battles from the second World War.
The announcement of a new Battlefield game at this time is peculiar because it comes at a time when rumors of a next Call of Duty game are making the rounds.
