An unannounced Battlefield title will release in late 2016, EA has confirmed.

The title will follow the release of Battlefield Hardline next March and Star Wars Battlefront in holiday 2015.

While EA has yet to announce further details on the new Battlefield, the game is likely to be Battlefield 5 and be developed by DICE. Given Battlefield 4’s release last year, the timing of the release points towards a three-year development cycle.

“We are planning to release Star Wars Battlefront in Q3 FY ’16 and our next Battlefield title in Q3 FY17,” commented CFO Blake Jorgensen. “This provides us with a major first-person shooter title each year and allows us to focus on still increasing earnings progression in the coming years. This also allows our Battlefield titles to enjoy the long life we have seen historically through our core gameplay and extended services.”
