“With Battlefield V we set out to build the best playing game in
the franchise’s history. Few other games are able to provide the kind of
amazing and unscripted moments you experience in Battlefield,
like pulling off crazy stunts in a plane while flying through a blown-up
bridge as tanks and soldiers battle it out on the ground. The team here
at DICE can’t wait to see what Battlefield V becomes in the hands of our
community,” said Oskar Gabrielson, GM at DICE. “We have also set out to
create a game that will grow and evolve over time, and we’re going to
keep tinkering with the gameplay, and provide new experiences to our
community for a long time to come.”
Battlefield V gives fans the chance to play the untold stories
and visit the unexpected locations of WW2. In multiplayer, DICE builds
upon the deepest and most immersive Battlefield experiences yet
with massive gameplay changes and the development of new core systems.
Whether it’s by foot, driving one of the many different armored vehicles
or going swiftly by plane, squad up with three others to play the
objectives in any given mode and choose between the recon, assault,
medic or support class for whatever the team needs most. Players can
prepare for battle across the eight maps and eight multiplayer modes and
learn more about the game’s new innovations by visiting the Boot
Camp.
In single player, Battlefield V brings back the acclaimed War
Stories from Battlefield 1 to portray different people facing
brutal warfare filled with Battlefield moments. Players will
witness the war through the eyes of the men and women who helped change
the world forever as they take on untold stories of human drama. Fight
as a Norwegian resistance fighter in Nordlys, a Senegalese French
Colonial fighter in Tirailleur or a British criminal in the Special Boat
Services looking for a chance at redemption in Under No Flag.
On December 4, players can jump into the new single-player War Story,
The Last Tiger, a new tank-focused map called Panzerstorm, the
introduction of the Practice Range and a chance to stand out on the
battlefield with vehicle customizations for both tanks and planes. Additionally,in the same week, Battlefield V will begin time-limited events from
the first chapter of its new live service commitment to players, Tides
of War. Each new chapter throughout Tides of War will feature evolving
gameplay, an expanding world, new experiences and game improvements all
completely free, bringing a new Battlefield with each one.
Chapter 2: Lightning Strikes, debuting in January, will see the
introduction of the cooperative Combined Arms mode and the return of
Rush and Squad Conquest. Launching in March, Chapter 3: Trial by Fire
will see the introduction of the highly anticipated Battle Royale mode,
Firestorm, and a new map set in Greece. Beyond the first chapters, more
experiences will keep coming as the battlefields keep evolving.
