Now that the work on Star Wars Battlefront is mostly complete and the game is shipped, the development director at DICE has announced their next project, a new Battlefield game. 

Now that we've shipped Battlefront and a part of the team continues to work on it, I am moving on to another project, the next Battlefield..

Dan Vaderlind, Development Director at DICE
DICE and EA have previously said that they are not planning on annualising the series, yet this announcement seems to follow the pattern of a Battlefield game releasing every other year or so. Battlefield 3 came out in 2011, Battlefield 4 in 2013 and Battlefield: Hardline earlier this year. During an investor's call, EA CFO Blake Jorgensen confirmed that the next Battlefield game is set to release during 2016. 

What we've said is that our intention over the next couple of years is to have a first-person shooter as one of the core titles. This year, obviously, it's Star Wars Battlefront. Next year, it's another Battlefield title.

Blake Jorgensen, EA CFO
It is currently still unknown whether this will be Battlefield 5 or if it will go by a different name, but EA's CFO has commented that it will return to Battlefield military-style game. Executive Producer Patrick Bach has also said to NY Times that Battlefield 5 will have "More features. More extras. More destruction".
