EA has revealed their planned launch window for Battlefield 4.
EA is planning to release Battlefield 4 between April 2013 and March
2014. They revealed their plans during
EA's Q1 2013 earnings relations
call, where they talked about their plans for Battlefield and Medal of
Honor series.
EA Labels president Frank Gibeau said: "We are aiming to have the next product in the Battlefield franchise in [Fiscal 14]."
"With
regards to Medal of Honor, we brought the brand back a couple of years
ago in 2010 with the goal of
building a sustainable long-term franchise
that was positioned around the authentic experience of being in combat.
We were very proud of the first product; it definitely delivered on a
lot of fronts and a couple of fronts it didn't.
We weren't as pleased
with the quality as we had hoped to be.
"Our goal with
[Medal of Honor: Warfighter] was to change things up a bit. We changed
the tech-base from the Unreal
Engine to the Frostbite engine. We added
some resources from our DICE studio in Stockholm, and we've tried some
very
innovative things this time around with multiplayer and some other
things.
"We're tracking to grow the franchise from the
2010 version and our goal is to continue to have Medal of Honor
as part of our portfolio going forward."

Bethesda has finally released the Dawnguard expansion for Skyrim on Steam. You can download it now for $20.

as Bethesda is "not yet satisfied with performance".
"We are not satisfied yet with Dawnguard's performance on the PS3.
"We would like for everyone to have a chance to play Dawnguard, but we aren't going to release it for PS3
knowing that some people's experience in Skyrim will be worse.
"We do everything we can to have our content available to all; from our free updates, to user mods, to paid DLC.
We're as disappointed as our fans when that isn't the case, but we'll continue to push for that reality."
