Battlefield 1 Players Find Reveal Date Easter Egg for Battlefield 5

Fans of the popular Battlefield first person shooter franchise have been anxiously awaiting to hear any information regarding the next Battlefield game and what exactly it will entail following the successful entry of Battlefield 1. Now, players have finally gotten the first bit of information regarding the next title in the franchise, as a unsolvable Easter Egg that has been in Battlefield 1 since its release has finally been cracked, and it points to the reveal date for the next Battlefield title. 

The Easter Egg in question was the "Isolement" door located on Battlefield 1's Fort de Vaux map. Players have had no luck opening the door over the course of the game's life, but a recent patch implmented to the game added a button system that is able to be used by players. When the buttons are pressed in the correct order to spell out the word Isolment, the door will open and players will find a cell containing a painting of a white horse. There are also water pipes dripping water found in the Isolement room. These water drips drop in morse code that spells out the web address ea.com/neverbethesame. Visiting the address will take players to a blue screen with the date May 23rd, 2018 at the center with the hashtag #battlefield. 

The two social media icons will allow players to share the Easter Egg website, with the link stating that the franchise willl "Never Be the Same", which has led to speculation that the next title will be one that is drastically different from any of its predecessors. A major part of this difference could be the inclusion of a battle royale mode in the title, as rumors and leaks have pointed to the next title implementing a game mode of the popular genre.

However this has not yet been publicly confirmed and players are now looking towards May 23rd, 2018 to get official confirmation of what exactly the next game will entail for the community.
