EA DICE has announced a special world premiere event where it will lift the veil off the long-awaited "Battlefield 5." The game studio invites fans to "see the future" of the franchise on May 6.

The announcement was made after a report about the said "Battlefield" affair by a German publication made rounds online.

A special countdown website was also launched by EA DICE to help fans mark off the days leading to the "Battlefield 5" reveal, which fans can catch at exactly 4 p.m. ET (9 p.m. BST).

According to a press release sent to Gamespot, fans can expect creative director Lars Gustavsson and lead producer Aleksander Grondal to lead the charge into the future of "Battlefield."
