Here's the
Battlefield V
official reveal trailer showing off the by-now expected World War II
setting in the next installment in DICE's military shooter series. EA
says this
will be released on October 19th, and they are already
accepting preorders
for Standard and Deluxe editions. They note the game will
have no
premium pass, and apparently will likewise feature neither a battle royale
mode nor loot boxes. They do
promise
that in its single-player War Stories, an "untold side of World War 2 comes
to light," that their
Grand
Operations mode is grand, and that
Combined
Arms will add "all-or-nothing online co-op that will test vets and new
recruits alike." They also talk of
new company
appearance options, leading them to call this
the deepest,
most immersive Battlefield yet. Here's more on what to expect from the
official announcement:
In new and classic multiplayer modes, players
can lead their own unique Company to victory in a dynamic multiplayer experience
where every battle is unique. The Company allows players to create and deeply
customize their soldiers, weapons and vehicles that will evolve as they
progress, covering everything from the way they look to the way they play. Fan
favorite modes like the 64-player Conquest return, with the game’s multiplayer
culminating in Grand Operations, an all-new live, event-based experience within
Tides of War. These multimap, multi-mode dynamic events take players through
vast historical battles to relive moments of bravery and desperation while
fighting to the final objective.
The acclaimed single-player campaign mode from Battlefield 1, War Stories,
returns for Battlefield V. Witness the conflict through the eyes of men and
women of World War 2 and experience untold stories of human drama, filled with
Battlefield moments. Experience the freezing Norwegian landscapes as a young
Norwegian resistance fighter or come ashore into the desert heat of North Africa
- and more.
Tides of War is DICE’s new approach to live services, where players will set out
on an epic journey with their Company in unexpected battles throughout World War
2. There will be no premium pass, all players will have access to the same maps
and modes, keeping the community unified as they progress through Battlefield V.
In Tides of War, their journey through World War 2 will grow through themed
experiences that will include events and all-new ways to play like Grand
Operations, while also unlocking the latest themed rewards such as weapons and
vehicles to further shape their Company.
