Shares of Electronic Arts plunged nearly 10 percent in morning trading Thursday after the gamemaker announced it is delaying the release of "Battlefield V" by a month and adjusted its full-year guidance to reflect the lower sales.

The next iteration of EA's popular "Battlefield" series will now launch on Nov. 20, the company said in a release. That distances the release from some other highly anticipated game launches such as Activision Blizzard's "Call of Duty: Black Ops 4" and Take-Two's "Red Dead Redemption 2" — both set to launch in October.
