New Battlefield Game Announced

EA and DICE are back for another new instalment of modern warfare goodness next year!
Electronic Arts have today announced the development of a new Battlefield video game. President Frank Gibeau has told us today that "we'll be launching a new Battlefield game next year," with the company apparently "very excited to show you guys more detail on that coming soon".

Of course, something interesting on this matter is that a beta for a game titled Battlefield 4 was promised in the package of 2012's Danger Close shooter Medal Of Honor: Warfighter, and thus players of that game are already owed that seemingly 'announced' title, but it seems likely that this announcement today regards the game in question. Or, perhaps, could there now be two Battlefield video games coming in two years, kicking off an annualised schedule for the series? Gibeau was currently specific on the matter, stating that EA is "not announcing an annualisation of Battlefield at this time". It's interesting to contemplate on this matter nevertheless, especially with the subsequent reveal of Medal Of Honor's franchise demise coming hot on this news' heels!

Battlefield 4 is set for release in fiscal year 2014 (April 2013-March 2014), with a full reveal of the new entry confirmed to be on its way in April.
