EA has officially confirmed Battlefield 4 is in development, via a Medal of Honor: Warfighter pre-order scheme.

Those who pre-order the Medal of Honor: Warfighter Limited Edition will gain access to the Battlefield 4 beta, a video on the official Medal of Honor website confirms.
The Battlefield 4 beta will be available in autumn 2013, EA's confirmed, with additional details regarding the game itself set to be revealed at a later date.

The beta first leaked via EA's origin store earlier this week, and the sequel of course doesn't come as a huge surprise - Battlefield 3 released in October 2011 to widespread critical acclaim and 12 million copies shipped in its first month.

Medal of Honor: Warfighter is out in Europe on October 26.

Last month EA launched Battlefield 3's Premium service, which picked up 800,000 paid users in its first two weeks.

The Premium service acts as the sharp end of an ambitious DLC plan for the DICE shooter, with the Back to Karkand and Close Quarters expansions already released, and a further three DLC packs in the pipeline.

EA Labels president, Frank Gibeau said of the pre-order news: "Though Battlefield and Medal of Honor Warfighter each offer players a completely unique experience, they are united by their underlying technology base - Frostbite. These are two of the hottest shooters, coming together to deliver a one-two punch of action, intensity and shooter entertainment."

At least we know it is now official. Man it seems to be coming out so soon after BF3 but I'm sure they'll make a phenomenal game either way. I loved BF3 and found it much better than its rival that year, MW3. It was fun, the graphics were amazing, it had some very neat features especially ingame (jets especially) and I liked the realistic feel to the game. Well the multiplayer that is and gameplay wise but with BF4, I hope this time around they craft a better story. The BF3 story wasn't bad, but it left me feeling slightly unfulfilled. Needs to be longer.

Freddie Wong was the one who leaked it anyways, so I figured it was legit.
