I nearly forgot to do the news today. But I did, and here is that news.
- Battlefield 5 Reveal
- RuneScape Classic Closes
- PlayStation’s Big Plan is Three Years Away
Battlefield 5
Earlier today, developer EA DICE revealed the details of their upcoming Battlefield game. This time, they’re going back to World War II. Senior producer Andreas Morell says that they’re focusing more on the less common locations, such as Norway and The Netherlands. The last time the series was in WWII was in 2009 with Battlefield 1943. Battlefield 5 is set for release on October 19 on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One.
RuneScape Classic
Don’t worry. I’m not talking about Old School RuneScape. RuneScape Classic was the game series’ first jump into online gaming. It would later evolve into what we know as Old School RuneScape, which would later evolve into modern RuneScape. After 17 years live, the developers announced that they will be winding down the classic version of the game, eventually removing it entirely. RuneScape Classic’s servers will go offline at 1 pm on August 6.
PlayStation’s Plan
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, PlayStation CEO John Kodera stated that they “will use the next three years to prepare the next step.” The statement follows a recent investor meeting where he stated that the PS4 was reaching the end of its life. While Kodera never made a direct statement about the sought-after PlayStation 5, what he’s said so far confirms that they aren’t going to do anything too massive in the next three years, but that the following years will be big for the company. These “next steps” may very well be a new console.
