According to the EA Games’ Ben Cousins, DICE will be unveiling a brand new Battlefield title on Friday. He also made a point to note that this would be a completely new title unrelated to Battlefield 3. Cousins has been alluding to some major news on his Twitter account for the past week, as well as posting the censored image above. EA’s Battlefield Blog has also posted about there being a major announcement on their blog this Friday.
Cousins also confirmed that while EA Games did purchase the URL for Battlefield Assault, it will not be the title for the release on Friday.
Regardless of the new Battlefield title’s name, Cousins tweeted that the game currently looks great.
In related news Patrick Soderlund, Senior Vice President of EA Games, also confirmed that development of Battlefield 3 is still on track and Battlefield 1943 is still being developed for the PC. When Eurogamer asked Soderlund when the public would hear more about Battlefield 3, he said it would be coming soon, but with no certain time frame in mind.
While it’s possible that EA will release additional information this Friday on Battlefield 3, this is a rather open ended response. Battlefield 3 will be the continuation from Battlefield 2, which did not feature a single player campaign. Soderlund also made it clear that the Battlefield Bad Company gang is not out of the picture, but will be on the sidelines during development of Battlefield 3.
