BATTLEFIELD V GENRE: FPS PLATFORM: PS4/XBO/PC RELEASE: 20/11/18 MULTIPLAYER: YES

After the ambitious and triumphant Battlefield 1 set during the Great War, FPS connoisseurs DICE return to the fray, setting the follow-up during the Second World War. Online players will be getting an expanded version of Operations called (no guesses here) Grand Operations. An obligatory battle royale mode has been added called Firestorm, which pits teams of four against each other in a fight for survival with up to 64 players able to participate. And finally, the excellent War Stories

– a single-player campaign mode introduced in BF1 – returns with a series of settings, from the frozen mountains of Norway to the deserts of North Africa.

Criterion Games produced Firestorm, the battle royale component of Battlefield V .
