EA and Dice have unleashed the details on the latest Battlefield game.
Battlefield V (fiiiiive) will take place during WWII, possibly the next logical jump from the previous game taking place during WWI. More importantly, it’ll be ditching the microtransactions that have plagued recent EA multiplayer games.
The game will focus on a full single player campaign, something that its arch-rival Call of Duty will be losing with BlOps 4. Microtransactions will be cosmetic at most, so if you want a golden gun, it won’t affect the actual gameplay.
Multiplayer-wise, it will expand on its online infrastructure. No season pass will be at the game’s core, instead switching to a live service backbone, with tweaks and additions and changes happening for everyone instead of splintering player bases. The ability to build fortifications will come to several of the player modes, too, allowing for things like trenches and sandbag walls to help defend areas as needed. It’s not quite the builds of Fortnite, so you don’t have to cry “battle royale foul” just yet.
Finally, the game will launch in October, on the 19th. If you choose to digitally preorder on Origin and EA Access, you’ll actually get the game on October 11, just a day before Black Ops 4 launches.
