Battlefield 4 Confirmed, Beta Coming in Autumn 2013

Battlefield 4 is in development at DICE, EA has confirmed.

The game will be powered by Frostbite 2 and a beta will tak place in Autumn 2013 - it will be accessible if you pre-order Medal of Honor: Warfighter Limited Edition ahead of launch.

The reveal leaked on Origin earlier this week. More details on Battlefield 4 will be released at a later date, EA said.

"Though Battlefield and Medal of Honor Warfighter each offer players a completely unique experience, they are united by their underlying technology base - Frostbite. These are two of the hottest shooters, coming together to deliver a one-two punch of action, intensity and shooter entertainment," said EA labels president Frank Gibeau.

We guess that means Battlefield 4 will launch next year too, although it seems unlikely to hit next-gen.
