EA confirms next Battlefield game will be out in 2016

It's official; the next Battlefield title will be released in 2016.

EA’s CFO Blake Jorgensen confirmed this during the company’s latest investor call. When an investor asked about the future of EA’s core titles, Jorgensen responded that EA plans to have a first-person shooter as a core title in the future.

“What we've said is that our intention over the next couple of years is to have a first-person shooter as one of the core titles. This year, obviously, it's Star Wars Battlefront. Next year, it's another Battlefield title," he explained.

Battlefield Hardline was the last Battlefield title released. It was released in March of this year. Before that, Battlefield titles were typically released in October. Battlefield Hardline was pushed back to ensure that the launch would go smoothly.

Clearly EA has no intentions to release two Battlefield games in one year. It’s likely that the Battlefield franchise will revert back to an October release next year.
