A new tank in Battlefield V

EA puts Battlefield on ice until at least April 2021

Don’t expect a new Battlefield game for a couple years, as Electronic Arts noted in a conference call for its fiscal earnings today that the series is going to be taking a break.

EA said that there won’t be a new Battlefield until fiscal year 2022, which starts on March 31, 2021. In the meantime, EA will focus on the hit free-to-play battle royale game Apex Legends, which has reached over 70 million players.
