Battlefield 4...coming soon...already?

[blesner]

Pre-ordering Medal of Honor: Warfighter on Origin will gain buyers access to the Battlefield 4 beta, according to an advertisement on EA's digital distribution service. This is interesting considering EA and DICE have yet to make a Battlefield 4 announcement of any kind, and because Battlefield 3 downloadable content will continue until March 2013.

Clicking through the pre-order button yields no additional information about Battlefield 4, nor does the official Battlefield website.

While EA hasn't actually announced Battlefield 4, the idea of a sequel is hardly a surprise for the Battlefield series. Battlefield 3 continues to sell well and more than 800,000 people have signed up for Battlefield Premium.

Rumors of new Battlefield games have been swirling for some time now. Electronic Arts president Frank Gibeau confirmed Battlefield 4 in an off-handed comment last year, and Battlefield Bad Company 3 appeared on an employee resume recently. In addition, a retailer listed a title called Battlefield Evolved back in March.

We've reached out to EA about Battlefield 4 and will update with any comment we receive.
