Earlier today it was revealed that Battlefield 4 is, as expected, in development. EA made this confirmation when they revealed that those who pre-order the “Limited Edition” of Medal of Honor: Warfighter will get access to “the exclusive Battlefield 4 beta.” This reveal is a certainly interesting, as the announcement of a game as large as Battlefield 4 happening due to a pre-order bonus reeks of mistake.
At the time of announcement no one knew exactly when this beta would be happening, however EA has since announced that the beta will begin sometime in Fall 2013, which means that gamers can expect an actual Battlefield 4 release sometime in late 2013/early 2014.
