Battlefield Hardline Arrives in March, But Battlefield 5 Isn't Anytime Soon

Electronic Arts appears to be giving DICE a significant amount of time for the next major installment.

Taking a cue from Marvel, Electronic Arts mapped out the future of Battlefield for the next few years on a conference call today.

The delayed Battlefield Hardline from Visceral Games will arrive on March 17, while Star Wars: Battlefront is scheduled for "holiday 2015." While Battlefront isn't technically part of the Battlefield franchise, it's coming from DICE and will take the place of Battlefield in EA's portfolio for 2015.

The next major Battlefield won't be released until holiday 2016. That gives DICE a long time to figure out the future of a series requiring something awfully special to make up for Battlefield 4's disastrous launch.
