Dan Vaderlind a development director at DICE has confirmed via Twitter that their next in-house project is the next installment of the Battlefield series.
In a somewhat unsurprising announcement, but nonetheless still exciting, Vaderlind had this to say on Twitter:
Now that we've shipped Battlefront and a part of the team continues to work on it, I am moving on to another project, the next Battlefield..

Even with their new success with the Star Wars brand, EA still cherishes their modern-combat franchise.
At an investor call earlier this year, EA’s CFO Blake Jorgensen said that 2016 will see the release of a new Battlefield game:
“What we’ve said is that our intention over the next couple of years is to have a first-person shooter as one of the core titles. This year, obviously, it’s Star Wars Battlefront. Next year, it’s another Battlefield title.”
