It seems like only yesterday that Battlefield 3 graced our screens and thrust us full on into a new war. Battlefield 3 showcases the stunning Frostbite 2 engine and is one of the best looking games out at the moment. This looks like it is all set to change according to a tweet from Gamestop and EA itself.

Now if this was fake you would have assumed that EA would have shut it down or denied it but that is not the case.

Just in case that isn't enough for you, here is a tweet from the official Battlefield twitter account.

Now we've known that Battlefield 4 has been around and in beta for a while because of this official statement from DICE telling fans to stay excited about Battlefield 3 and to not worry about Battlefield 4 just yet.

Wow! That is a lot to take on isn't it? The timing of the tweet can't be a coincidence either with the soon to be announcement of the Playstation 4. It is possible that Battlefield 4 will be released in the 2013 holiday season matching the release cycle of Battlefield 3. End Game, the last Battlefield 3 DLC is set for release in March and there are currently discounts on BF3 in place on Origin. Unfortunately these are the only details we can provide at the moment as EA and DICE have been very tight lipped about it all. Let's hope we can learn more about it very soon.

Are you excited about this game? Do you feel it's too soon after Battlefield 3 or are you ready for this new instalment? Tell us about it in our forums and discuss any features you would like to see.
