EA Unveils Battlefield 5 Livestream Next Week
Building upon the remarkable detective work of the Battlefield community earlier this month, EA has officially announced that a Battlefield 5 reveal event will take place on May 23rd.
The news initially emerged in a tweet from Trevor Noah, the host of the US satirical news program The Daily Show. “The rumors are true,” Noah wrote, “I will be hosting the Battlefield Live Reveal on Wed, May 23rd.”
Although the tweet didn’t explicitly mention Battlefield 5, Noah’s sign-off of “V EXCITING” – not to mention the coffee mug adorned with a huge, unmistakable “V” at the end of the accompanying video – served as significant hints.

Luckily, any remaining doubts can be swiftly eliminated by following Noah’s instructions and visiting the official Battlefield YouTube channel. There, you’ll find a video titled Battlefield 5 Live Reveal, scheduled to commence on Wednesday, May 23rd at 9 pm in the UK/1 pm PT.
“Join us for the Battlefield V Live Reveal on May 23,” the description beneath the reveal video states, “as The Daily Show host Trevor Noah and the DICE development team demonstrate how the battlefield will never be the same.”
As DICE’s next Battlefield game approaches, rumors about its characteristics have naturally become more frequent. Last year, there were whispers that 2018 might witness the revival of the Battlefield Bad Company series, though those rumors quickly lost momentum.
Other reports, believed to be accurate by Eurogamer, have indicated that the next Battlefield is set during World War II. Meanwhile, EA boss Andrew Wilson suggested that, unlike the Call of Duty series, it will not abandon its single-player campaign. However, if the latest rumors are to be believed, it might be in line for a Battle Royale mode.
Of course, we’ll learn more when EA’s Battlefield 5 Live Reveal airs on May 23rd.
