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.

WWI, now thats pretty awesome! WWII used to be always overdone so im glad that its a different time era. Hope its not like battlefield hardline.. Also glad to see its off of old gen.

This sounds rather interesting. Can't wait to give it a try and hear more about it.

See I cant wait for this! Now I wish COD would do the same thing like WaW and COD 4 were so good.

It's about time.

The games set in the past, especially those set in WWI and WWII, are so much better than the futuristic take everyone is using today. Just hope it has a good storyline that isn't too wacky.


And now I sit and wait quietly for Treyarch to make Cod WaW 2 in 2018.

Now this would make me purchase another Battlefield.

Bring back pre-Vietnam war games!

I really hope they bring out an older time period for Battlefield again. Hopefully the game and beta are not as buggy as Battlefield 4, because I know that was a huge turn off for a lot of people.
