They promised that Battlefield 2021 has “everything we love about Battlefield,” including “Epic scale,” “Crazy, unexpected moments,” and “Massive battles, packed with more players and mayhem than ever before.”
While there is no confirmation of when Battlefield 6 will be revealed, DICE said that we should get ready for their reveal “soon™” with a cheeky wink.
This announcement comes alongside the news that they are also developing a mobile Battlefield game, following in the footsteps of other shooter franchise titans, Apex Legends and Call of Duty.
