Battlefield 5 reveal confirmed for May 23

Comedian and Daily Show host Trevor Noah has blown the lid off EA's reveal of the next Battlefield game on Twitter.

His tweet links to a dormant livestream on YouTube, the placeholder thumbnail for which seems to confirm that the game will revert to the previous naming system and be called Battlefield V, after Battlefield 1 took us back to WWI.

All the promotion so far has made a point to comment on how the next entry will mark a big change for the series, leading to persistent and inevitable chatter that the game will feature a Battle Royale mode. At least now we have a date to look forward to when our questions will be answered.

Until then, all eyes will be on Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 which gets its reveal today. That's also supposed be going Battle Royale. As is every other game on the planet.
