Originally leaked via the Medal Of Honor: Warfighter Steam pre-order offer, and then quickly covered up, with its existence denied by EA, it’s now been confirmed, by none other than, erm… EA, that not only is Battlefield 4 coming, but so is the beta. Talk about a quick switcharoo.
Although there haven’t been any real details of the next Battlefield release yet, EA and DICE have stated that more details about the sequel will be forthcoming, but that they simply aren’t ready to talk about it at this time. Instead, the focus is on the upcoming content for Battlefield 3 and the subscription service, Battlefield 3 Premium.
Below is the actual letter released to fans of the game, complete with confirmation that pre-ordering Medal of Honor: Warfighter will, indeed, grant access to the Battlefield 4 beta, which should arrive next year.
"Battlefield fans -
"The team at DICE is hard at work on the next entry in the Battlefield series, and to ensure access to the exclusive Battlefield 4 beta, shooter fans can pre-order Medal of Honor Warfighter today.
"While there is no further Battlefield 4 news at this point - remember, if you don't see it published here, it's just rumour and speculation - we did want to take this opportunity to share a few thoughts on the state of the Battlefield franchise.
"We are extremely proud of Battlefield 3, and with millions of fans out there, we're happy you're enjoying it too. When we launched the game, we introduced unparalleled levels of in-game destruction, all-out vehicle warfare and redefined online gameplay.
"Even with billions of bullets fired and millions of games played, we know the Battlefield 3 story is still just the beginning. As ever, we are humbled by the community's response to the game, and couldn't be happier with the feedback we have received to Battlefield 3 Premium.
"With the 'Back to Karkand' and 'Close Quarters' expansion packs already out, 'Armored Kill' around the corner, and 'End Game' and 'Aftermath' still on the horizon, we're looking forward to many more hours of gameplay with you, and can't wait to see the stories you will tell through Battlelog and player-created videos.
"But we're not ready to talk about Battlefield 4 yet - in the meantime, we hope you will continue to enjoy Battlefield 3 and all the Battlefield 3 Premium content still to come. We invite you to check out Danger Close Studio's Medal of Honor Warfighter, which is also powered by the Frostbite 2 engine and the free social network, Battlelog.
"Don't forget that pre-ordering Medal of Honor Warfighter Limited Edition (at no extra cost) guarantees access to the exclusive Battlefield 4 Beta.
"See you on the battlefield!"
