Electronic Arts has confirmed that the new Battlefield title due out in 2016 will go back to the series’ military shooter roots.
This marks a departure from 2015’s upcoming Battlefield: Hardline, which takes on a Cops vs Robbers approach to the action.
EA CFO Blake Jorgensen told the 2014 UBS Global Technology Conference that the new game is shaping up to be a “fun, new Battlefield.”
"That will be a return to a Battlefield military-style game," added Jorgensen, "more to come on that."
This seems to indicate that the new title won’t be a follow-up to Battlefield: Hardline, which hits PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 next March.
