Battlefield Hardline and BattleCry revealed before E3 2014
E3's full of battles this year
Looks like all those Battlefield Hardline rumors were true after all.
With just a little over two weeks until E3 2014, Visceral, Dice and EA finally let the cat out of the bag and confirmed Battlefield 5's existence with a teaser site. The game will of course be officially unveiled during the EA press conference on June 9.
In the meantime, an early trailer of the game - where it's still called "Omaha" - has leaked as well. It's been marked private on YouTube but if you're quick, Polygon still has one up.
So far, Hardline looks like a mixture of Pay Day 2 and GTA V with some good ol' fashioned Battlefield 4 Levolution stirred in. Instead of the usual militaristic Battlefield warzone though, we'll be immersed in a "war against crime" and in what looks like a police drama.
There's no release date attached though one is sure to be announced during the press conference.
Nope, no Fallout 4 for you
Bethesda did have something planned for E3. It's just not another Fallout.
Instead, we're getting a game called BattleCry - a free-to-play, third-person multiplayer game exclusively for the PC.

The first F2P from Bethesda and BattleCry Studios, it appears to be a heavily melee game where guns are generally banned. It'll likely get comparisons to Team Fortress 2 and Steam's many other F2P multiplayer games.
BattleCry will be playable during E3 and Bethesda has noted a beta will be available on the PC in 2015.
