The battle royale phenomenon has been one of biggest stories of the past year--and it's not stopping soon. EA's next big shooter, Battlefield V, will have a battle royale mode, while Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will have one, too. EA has now commented further on the matter, teasing that it could release a standalone free-to-play game of its own.

During an investor call today, EA CFO Blake Jorgensen was asked directly if Battlefield V's battle royale mode could see a separate, standalone release as a free-to-play game. It probably won't, Jorgensen said, according to GI.biz. However, he said EA could make its own free-to-play, standalone battle royale game further down the track.
