'Battlefield 4' confirmed for PS4 and Xbox 720

Not that this news will be surprising to anyone, but EA has confirmed that "Battlefield 4" will indeed be a next-generation title for the PS4 and Xbox 720.

According to a report from OXM yesterday, EA labels president Frank Gibeau talked about the moves the publisher has already made with the game.

"For EA's creative teams, this transition comes as no surprise.

"We've been investing and innovating on new technology for months.

"Console partners who have seen our early work agree, EA's next-gen software is nothing short of astonishing.

"At a GameStop company meeting earlier this week, we gave 500 store managers a sneak peak at 'Battlefield 4.'

"The game received a huge ovation and thousands of fans reacted to a single enthusiastic Tweet by GameStop's CEO," Gibeau said.

"Battlefield 4" has experienced a lot of rumors and reports thus far, so it's nice to get confirmed details on this project, despite the reasonable suspicions everyone had.

"Battlefield 4" is scheduled to be release sometime during the next fiscal year for EA.
