Whatever the final game might end up looking like, there might be less than two months to go until we finally get a glimpse at the next Battlefield. Criterion's Need For Speed game is being put on the back burner temporarily, as both studios are going full tilt in an attempt to ship Battlefield later this year. Last month, an EA official revealed that Criterion was being recruited to help develop the unannounced Battlefield game with EA DICE. At the time, Henderson also claimed that the unannounced Battlefield game would be heavily inspired by Battlefield 3, welcome news if you're a fan of the series' past.
Not only may it offer up a potentially completely different experience that will add additional variety to the first-person shooter, but it will also tie-in to the rest of the game's progression, meaning. Rumors of a Battlefield game launching in 2021 first circulated in January, when Henderson claimed that EA was designing the forthcoming game's maps with 128 players in mind. Combined Arms is a smart addition to Battlefield V and something that's been missing since Battlefield 3 included a limited co-op campaign. Finally, Henderson reveals that this year's Battlefield will simply be called 'Battlefield.' There's no added flair on this year's shooter from EA, and we can expect to see a reveal trailer in May without actual gameplay, which lines up with what a journalist at Venture Beat previously claimed.
