Battlefield TV series incoming - game to small screen

The Battlefield franchise grabbed a lot of headlines with the annoucement of new game Battlefield 1, which takes players to the trenches of World War 1, far from the modern shooters of recent years.

That change is welcome, and long overdue, and the popularity of this series continues to impress, especially in light of competition from a behemoth like Call of Duty. There could be even more of the franchise to enjoy soon, as there's a TV show in the works.

That's right, Paramount TV is collaborating with Anonymous Content on a Battlefield TV series. Details are pretty hazy at the moment but the press release talks about the narrative of the game quite a bit, an element which DICE has never really handled all that well to date.
