EA and DICE revealed the Battlefield V roadmap for 2019 along with details of their Battle Royale, Firestorm coming in March. The roadmap is divided into chapters planned to release in their respective months.
Battlefield V Roadmap for 2019
With Call of Duty Black Ops 4 released the only thing missing to complete the year is the release of a Battlefield installment. Battlefield V, the upcoming iteration in the Battlefield series is coming but a little late in my opinion. The game will be coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC on November 20th, 2018.
Few days remaining in the release of Battlefield V and here are the things which you can look forward to after launch:
Evolving Gameplay:
Thrilling ways of experiencing Battlefield V will be added through fresh Fortifications, and Reinforcements. Iconic WW2 hardware like vehicles, weapons, and gadgets will also be added.
New Experiences:
Play through a new single-player War Story dubbed The Last Tiger, co-op with a friend in Combined Arms, do battle royale the Battlefield™ way in Firestorm, experience new game modes and Grand Operations, and hone your skills in the upcoming Practice Range.
An Expanding World:
You’ll get to deploy on fresh maps as chapters bring new battlefields. Shortly after launch, this starts with Belgium and the Panzerstorm map with tank-focused gameplay, expanding to the battlefields of Greece – and the journey will continue.
Game Improvements:
Quality of life updates will regularly improve Battlefield V, fix bugs, and balance the game.
With these aside, let’s talk about Battlefield V in detail. Visit here for more details on Tides of War journey which will begin after two weeks of the main game release.
Chapter 1. Overture (From January to March)
Chapter 1 will be released in January after roughly 2 months after the game release.
New Panzerstorm Map:
Chapter 1: Overture brings the Panzerstorm map, where the German mechanized war machine plunges into Belgium, smashing into Allied defensive forces. On this tank-focused arena, you’ll roll across ridges, ditches, and elevated roads with a massive force of armor, carving a path of destruction through the countryside
More single-player content:
An addition to the Single player: War Stories will be released with Chapter 1.
In it, a lone Tiger Tank crew begins to question the ideology that got them to this point.
Practice Range and Vehicle customization:
During this period, we’ll add the initial iteration of Practice Range to Battlefield V. A seat of learning or just messing around, this area will contain trials to work on your shooting, driving, and flying. Based on the Hamada map, this is an environment that can’t kill you – until someone finds the Friendly Fire button, that is.
You’ll get to explore Vehicle Customization when Chapter 1 starts, too.
Stand out on the battlefield with stunning tank skins and make your mark on the skies with plane skins and nose art decals.
The Overture brings weekly events and rewards that will keep highlighting the finer details of Battlefield V gameplay. Each event brings a series of challenges that lets you earn new Tides of War rewards. Also, look forward to the rewards for each time you level up your chapter rank.
Chapter 2. Lightning Strikes (January to March)
With Lightning Strikes arriving early next year, the Tides of War continue – this time with a focus on vehicle warfare and rapid infantry movement. The chapter brings to life the fear created by the Axis war machine through original content and challenges built around vehicle play.
Co-Op: Combined Arms:
Combined Arms: Join forces with up to three friends and take on the co-op experience of Combined Arms. In a series of Combat Strike missions across several maps, you and your squad will fight against AI components in various challenges.
Two New Game Modes:
During the chapter, two game modes will be added to Battlefield V. A revamped Rush is one of them. Say goodbye to MCOM stations and hello to bombs as you take on this classic, only available during Lightning Strikes.
Speaking of classic modes, in Squad Conquest, you’ll take on the most iconic way to play Battlefield – but in a more intense way. Only 16 players – two squads per team – will fight for map domination.
Like Chapter 1, Lightning Strikes also brings weekly events and rewards, along with chapter rank-up goodies.
Chapter 3. Trial by Fire (March)
In this month, Battlefield’s version Battle Royale will be coming for players anxiously waiting for a Battle Field type BR. With Blackout released I’m very curious to see a Battlefield V style Battle Royale experience. As mentioned it will be releasing in March but honestly it feels way too late for a Battle Royale.
Firestorm: During spring, DICE and Criterion start the fire with Battlefield V’s battle royale experience. Firestorm elevates the mode by bringing in the best of what Battlefield is known for. Mix a shrinking playing field with trademark Battlefield elements such as team play, powerful vehicles, and destruction, and you get many unique Battlefield moments coming your way.
Head over here for more details on Firestorm.
Greece Map:
The player will be joining a massive aerial invasion along the Cretan coast. The Allied side is desperate to cling to the island under attack by the Axis, attempting to break through the British defenses air superiority and paratroops. This map brings all-out war defined by a power struggle between tank control versus air superiority.
Again, just like the other chapters, Trial by Fire will let you tackle weekly events to earn rewards, and as you progress through the chapter, further unlocks await.
EA says, that Battlefield V will continue to evolve as they plan to release more info on new locations, new weapons, new vehicles, and more.
