While Battlefield V is set to launch (on November 20) with a variety of maps, gear, and single-player content, DICE is already giving fans a peak at what they can expect from post-launch updates.
Chapter 1: Overture is the first of these updates, and it will be available from the beginning of December through January.
Plans for Overture include:
- A new, tank-focused map in Belgium
- More single-player campaign with War Stories: The Last Tiger
- The Practice Range, a game mode that will allow players to hone their skills in relative safety
- Vehicle skins
- Weekly events and rewards
Chapter 2: Lightning Strike is set for January to March, and it has “a focus on vehicle warfare and rapid infantry movement.”
Specifically, Lighting Strike will introduce:
- Combined Arms, a series of co-op missions that will pit four players against AI enemies
- A new take on the franchise’s Rush game-mode (available only during Lightning Strike)
- Squad Conquest, a 16-player game mode focused on capturing and defending points across the map (also available only during Lightning Strike)
- Weekly events and rewards
And finally, March brings Chapter 3: Trial By Fire, the beginning of Battlefield V‘s battle royale game mode: Firestorm.
Regarding Battlefield‘s foray into the increasingly popular genre, DICE elaborates:
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.
Additionally, Trial By Fire introduces a new map in Greece and weekly events and rewards.
Beyond these first three chapters, DICE is committed to introducing even more gear, game modes, and maps.
