We have now heard of the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 but what will be EA’s answer to Activision’s biggest FPS video game? Battlefield 1 players found out via Easter Egg in the game that EA will soon reveal what this year’s Battlefield installment will be this month.

Eurogamer reports that players with the Battlefield 1 “They Shall Not Pass” Expansion pack finally got to unlock the door in the Fort Vaux map that they have been baffled with whilst playing game.  By following a sequence of breaking signs and flipping switches that spells out “isolement”, which is “isolation” in French. They then see painting of a white horse with what looks like vehicle tracks over it. A dripping pipe is actually dropping sounds in Morse code that when decoded, reveals a URL pointing to the EA website revealing “23 May 2018, Battlefield” which everybody understands to be the reveal date for the Battlefield title.

Reports say that the next Battlefield title will be called Battlefield V and will match Call of Duty’s WWII as it will be a change of technologies from World War 1 as played in Battlefield 1 to World War 2 with the tire or tank threads on the horse painting. Whilst Call of Duty’s offering for 2018, Black Ops 4, will be mainly multiplayer with no single player campaign and more zombie gameplays, Battlefield 5 will be having a single player campaign, loot boxes and coop mode.

Battlefield got World War II titles as it started as a WWII game title with Battlefield 1942 in 2002 with the last being the multiplayer-only Battlefield 1943 in 2009.  Now, how will the 2018 release make itself different from the last decade apart from new graphic resolutions and better gaming platforms?

We just hope that Battlefield V will provide a compelling story that is better than Battlefield 1, which in itself is a tremendous success. So on 23 May we will find out if the series will “never be the same.”
