During various earning calls, EA has suggested that we will be seeing the next Battlefield as soon as late 2018 or early 2019. EA hasn't detailed where the franchise will take us next, but it looks like a YouTuber has beaten them to it.
YouTuber AlmightyDaq, the same leaker that leaked Battlefield 1 information before the game was announced, is back with new information, this time regarding the next Battlefield game from DICE. It appears as though AlmightyDaq isn't the only YouTuber who knows this information.
According to AlmightyDaq, the next Battlefield game will be Bad Company 3 and it will feature a faster tempo than Battlefield 1, a higher skill gap, an overall increase of longevity and versatility of gameplay. DICE is seeking to please Infantry and Vehicle players by reintroducing the familiar and skill-heavy gameplay of modern vehicles, while not taking it as far as Battlefield 4.
The game will be announced and revealed at E3 2018, as per usual (says Daq).
