Battlefield V Firestorm kommt im März 2019

Battlefield V erscheint am 20.11.2018 und EA Dice hat nun die Post Launch Pläne verraten. Das auffälligste hierbei ist, dass der neue Battle Royale Modus Firestorm erst im März 2019 erscheinen wird.

"Tides of War", der Live Service mit regelmäßigen Updates, wird drei Kapitel besitzen:

Jedes Kapitel soll hierbei Battlefield erweitern und weiterentwickeln:

  • "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."

Circa 2 Wochen nach Release wird das erste Kapitel "Overture" ("early December-January") erscheinen. "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. The first chapter also lets you take on an addition to our single-player War Stories: The Last Tiger. In it, a lone Tiger Tank crew begins to question the ideology that got them to this point. [...] 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."

 "January - March" 2019 wird das zweite Kapitel mit dem Titel "Lightning Strikes" erscheinen. Dieses Mal "witch 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.

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.

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."

Das dritte Kapitel "Trial by Fire", welches im März 2019 startet, wir den neuen Battle Royale Modus Firestorm hinzufügen "and the war reaches Greece as the third Tides of War chapter is unleashed in the Spring."

"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.

Greece map: Join 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."

Viele haben sich sicherlich auf Ausführung des Battle Royale Modus von EA DICE gefreut, aber alle Fans müssen sich wirklich gedulden bis sie die Finger an den neuen Modus setzen können. Wer alle Details nochmal durchlesen möchte, kann dies auf dem EA Blog tun.
