Battlefield V follows Call of Duty back to World War II this year (updated)

Just like World War I got a sequel, Battlefield 1 is getting a followup later this year. The game is Battlefield V. It was previously known as Battlefield 2 internally at EA. Battlefield V will return the series to World War II in a main entry for the first time since 2009’s Battlefield 1943, GamesBeat has learned from sources familiar with EA’s plans. These sources wish to remain anonymous.

I reached out to EA to offer a chance to comment. I’ll update this story if it provides a statement.
