Battlefield 5 is World War 1 “Multiplayer Tactical Shooter” – Retailer

4.7
EA has been rather coy about details regarding the next major Battlefield title aside from the fact that it will be releasing near 2016 end and returning to the series’ military shooter roots with DICE at the helm.

However, a placeholder listing on Swedish retail site World of Games (via NeoGAF) revealed that Battlefield 5 will be a “multiplayer tactical shooter” and set in World War 1. It will apparently be releasing on October 26th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC, which pretty much puts previous gen out to pasture.

Take this with a grain of salt as usual, although it’s not far-fetched to believe that a new Battlefield will be out in Autumn seeing as how most games in the franchise have followed the same release cycle (save for Battlefield: Hardline which released in February 2015).

What are your thoughts on this, especially seeing as how World War 1 hasn’t been explored much in the FPS space? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned for more information.

Same as @Harmon I would rather play the old style than the new one!

Well, I'd much prefer an old-style warfare game instead of all this futuristic rubbish being produced by Call of Duty recently. Who knows? I may even find it more enjoyable than Call of Duty: World at War, which was one of my favourite Call of Duty games.

TayIor I've never been a fan of Battlefield, but. With the newest edition of the series being set back into the past, this might remind me of playing Medal of Honor as a kid, and that would be awesome. Definitely going to be purchasing this and hope I enjoy it.


Battlefield Bad Company 2 had an amazing Vietnam DLC. It just felt like the things you would read or see in documentaries about Vietnam. Even in 2013 I was able to find lobbies on that game with that DLC on Xbox 360 when I played it.

It is good they are releasing games from the past instead of all this futuristic rubbish.

Seam Honestly is this is more than just rumor I may have to start playing the Battlefield series.. Although its EA, the money grabbing arses that will charge you for the game and then another amount the same price as the game just to play it, and then charge you for each individual DLC and then charge you for using oxygen whilst playing.


Lol this is true it is EA we are dealing with after all...

Whey Finally, an old style game. Shame cod won't do the same


I feel as if COD will follow in their footsteps though, like they'll need to do something to compete


I dont think they'll copy them since COD has already been in development


Battlefield has been in developed since Ghost I believe!

im pretty sure activision is gonna do another modern warfare, as those were so popular. ghosts failed, hard. lol

I'm very excited for Battlefield 5. I hope that the listing is true and that it does take place in World War 1. I don't think I have ever played any video games that took place during World War 1, so I think it would be interesting.
