In case it wasn't the most bleedingly obvious direction for the world's most popular large scale FPS studio, DICE is reportedly working on a battle royale project. Specifically, a battle royale mode for this year's Battlefield V.

The origin of the rumour is VentureBeat, which cites "someone with knowledge of the studio who asked to remain anonymous". According to that report, the studio is currently testing its take on the mode. It's unclear whether it will launch with Battlefield V, or come later (or indeed, be abandoned).
