"Battlefield 5" may be one of the titles that gamers can look forward to later on this year.

As some may recall, late last year an IMDb listing for something named "Battlefield 5: Armageddon" was spotted online, leading fans to believe that it contained information about DICE's next title.

The listing contained some valuable information, including some of the actors expected to be part of the project and even a brief synopsis of the title that seemed to suggest that it would be based on the story of a "small town soldier."

Perhaps most significantly, the listing also contained information about when "Battlefield 5: Armageddon" would be released, suggesting that fans can look forward to getting their hands on it starting Nov. 23, 2016.

The listing has since been taken down, but Gamezone has managed to preserve a snippet of the original IMDb entry.

Neither DICE nor EA confirmed that the listing was indeed for an upcoming game, and no official information about it has been made available as well.

Interestingly enough, a new job listing posted by DICE seems to hint that the developer has now started to work on the still unconfirmed game.

According to the listing, DICE is looking for a new senior concept artist "who is eager to push visual quality to the next level on an unannounced AAA title."

Despite lack of confirmation from DICE, Gamepur suggests that the "unannounced AAA title" is, in all likelihood, "Battlefield 5."

As for what fans can expect from the upcoming game, the previously available IMDb listing and other rumors have also suggested that it will most likely be set in Japan.

Other rumors have also suggested that EA and DICE will be announcing more official information about "Battlefield 5" during Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), and that it may also be making its way to stores not long after that initial reveal.
