DICE is Now Moving on to Working on the Next Battlefield Game

thegeekdojo.net

DICE’s development director tweeted recently that he will be moving on to the project since Star Wars Battlefront is now done.

Work is still being done for Battlefront DLC and such, but the team will now start to focus on the next true Battlefield installment.

Others on twitter, including myself, have already been a bit concerned. DICE has handled the Battlefield series pretty well for the most part aside from Battlefield 4 being a bit buggy, but you just have to wonder if it will be a true Battlefield game and not super casual like Battlefront is. Only time will tell.

The next Battlefield is slated for a holiday 2016 release.

The trailer gives us a look at Guile’s long time best buddy, Charlie. This is the new version of Charlie though, the same version featured in Street Fighter V. Judging from the title of the series, we could possibly get a good look into what exactly happened to Charlie. It’s perfect timing considering Street Fighter V comes out in February.

Here is the trailer:
