Battlefield 1 easter egg leads to EA website suggesting May 23 announcement

I'm speaking for myself, I don't have much interested in Battlefield, but would jump in just to play the BR Mode, without buying the full game, ahaha.
I'd honestly be surprised if they didn't do this! I mean in Fortnite it's the perfect system, free to play but with cosmetics only, and they rake it in, whether these could be trusted to not put non cosmetic items in though is another matter entirely.
Same with CoD, offer that hit for free to hook people. I am not sure how it would go down with the fan base who paid though as I'm sure some people would kick up a fuss!
From the Battlefield 1 Easter Egg Discord:
Leads to a page on the official EA website: https://www.ea.com/neverbethesame
Easter egg in question:
(if it isn't working: https://streamable.com/92ph2)
Looks like about as official a trailer teaser as we're going to get. Slogan seems to be "Battlefield will never be the same."
Let the speculation begin.
Hmmm ok, let's see Hmmmmmm I know season pass 2, after the success of BF1 with WW1, now they will move to WW2, new maps, new weapons, new *loot boxes*(highlighted), everyone will get 5 maps for free and the rest will be on the season pass year 2. No news on the next battlefield yet this year since it's a work in progress and will be disclosed at a different date and time. Am I being realistic enough?

I kind of wonder if the "never be the same" is more a sendoff to WWI, with the picture being a horse painting run over by treads, then anything regarding the next game.
That's kind of a stretch. Never has it been this plain blue/orange. I know that they've worked with the blue/orange contrast for their box arts and artworks (like every other game) but never with these hues.
Don't know if anyone has answered this yet, but news sites around E3 are, obviously, extremely packed with news.
And it is hard to get maximum exposure when new stuff is being shown back-to-back-to-back and the headlines are constantly changing.
It gives a chance for the video to be #1 Trending on YouTube for a bit, I'm sure.
Also, it gives a chance to skip the actual announcement of a game at E3 & get right to a trailer or something.
I can almost guarantee it means something about battle Royale
In Pubg fps mode is really popular. It might be even more popular than TPS, atleast in EU/NA servers.
Not sure why people think battle royale needs to be third person to work properly.
Strange slogan, if it's WW2 then.. yeah we did get more than one world war BF game in the past.
Maybe they're referring to the inclusion of battle toyale or third person view option or something new to the series?

PUBG in first person is a far better experience than third person.
There's not much incentive to have your game announcement buried by 47 other game announcements.
Westie just confirmed the trailer for the 23rd?

Really excited for this one, Battlefield is the only multiplayer shooter I'm interested in. Fingers crossed for WW2 personally. The teaser is gonna be glorious either way, Dice really know how to piece together a good trailer. Hype!
Battlefield is too mainstream a franchise to not release a new game this year. They are not going to continue supporting BF1 like Ubisoft does with their games.
Battlefield isn't some small based game that will get buried by 47 other game announcements
It will still stand out vastly less being announced the same day as eight other top shelf AAA games though, whereas here it can get all the attention to itself.
and as you can see, everything in the first trailer looks like the game with all its content
Nothing so far but people on r/battlefield speculate that this white horse is the kind of "superior" horse Hitler wanted to breed.
Because the excitement generated by the teaser will help get eyes on their E3 content. Not to mention it'll just keep fans engaged in the brand before other companies have a chance to get in there.
They can absorb a full magazine from an smg and not slow down
Here's my guess
The trailer starts with a shot of the painting lying on the ground and yet another somber cover of a popular song is playing. The camera starts to zoom out and the painting gets run over by a German on a motorcycle. The camera continues to zoom out and you see a couple of of Americans in a Jeep chasing the German. The camera completely zooms out and reveals 128 players all over a massive map of Normandy and the title Battlefield: Royale is shown.
"Never be the same."
Until the next sequel where they go modern warfare and then the next 6 titles will all be modern warfare as well.

This got me thinking.
It could be very possible that we're gonna have to wait for 2022 until we get a Battlefield 4 successor, considering that the next Battlefield game after this one is probably Bad Company 3 in 2020.
8 fucking years between BF4 and "BF5", that's gonna be a looooong ass wait for those people who prefer the mainline series set in modern times.
OP

Not as long as the wait between Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 1. The vast, vast majority of BF games are modern setting.
Before you say it no, 1943 is not a mainline title.
Where did this sentiment come from? FP is easily the best mode in PuBG. That's my opinion, sure, but it seems like a lot of people agree. Id say it is a pretty good split between TPS/FPS.
On a related note, BR in a battlefield game has me so excited. A AAA BR game is what I've been waiting for. Battlefield seems to fit it perfectly. As much as I love PuBG, the shooting just isn't as good as other games. Going to be real interesting to see how they implement it.
Any guesses to how many maps? Going to be a few or will they try and procedurally generate drops for all their maps?
For all I care they could wait till the end of time. The last thing I want is another modern war title.
I want Cold War or 2043. :(
