Big confirmation from Electronic Arts today about two of their biggest franchises. First, it seems the rumor that Anthem is now a 2019 release is confirmed. While that’s unsurprising as we discussed in our Bitcast this week, what is more surprising (and pleasing) is that EA has confirmed a new Battlefield game will release in October of 2018.

Our Take
We had already figured Anthem as a 2019 release and we hope they take their time to make sure that game delivers on all fronts including an interesting end game. However, we’re excited by the Battlefield news. Knowing the rumor is that we’ll see Bad Company 3 in 2018, we continue to hope that will be the case!
