According to EGMNOW, Battlefield 4, which was recently announced in promotion of Medal of Honor: Warfighter, will be set in modern day

Karl Magnus Troedsson, general manager at DICE, revealed the news at GDC Europe.

“There’s a lot of things inspiring us as to how the franchise will move on. Everything from fans’ feedback, to market research and, of course, what we want to build ourselves. It’s not just one single thing,” said Troedsson. “And, yes, I know Battlefield 4 is probably the most creative name we ever could come up with. I can’t comment any more on that games because it’s all secret.”

“We still want to stay in this genre, the modern day as it is. We feel this is a place we can be and continue with the series. Battlefield 4 can live in this space and be very successful.”
