Battlefield V was supposed to launch today, but Electronic Arts has decided to make some improvements to the core gameplay mechanics and ultimately delayed the long-awaited title to the 20th of November. Developer DICE needed that extra month to polish the overall experience and focus on
Tides of War, DICE's idea for post-launch support that involves World War II-themed experiences.
Today, DICE announced that
Battlefield V has gone gold, which means that the development cycle has ended and the game is basically ready for launch. Naturally, DICE won't stop working on the title, but will instead focus on the aforementioned post-launch support, fixing the most important and notable bugs, and preparing a mandatory day-one patch that will eliminate the biggest technical issues.
DICE General Manager Oskar Gabrielson has revealed (via Twitter) that when players log into
Battlefield V they will have a special gift waiting for them. Two gifts, actually - the special Oscar Mike helmet decorated with a SNAFU (an acronym that is commonly used to stand for the sarcastic expression "
Situation Normal: All F*cked Up") decal and a skull, as well as a SNAFU emblem.
Enter mankind’s greatest conflict with Battlefield V as the series goes back to its roots with a never-before-seen portrayal of World War 2. Lead your squad to victory with new ways to turn the battlefield to your advantage. Assemble your Company of customized soldiers, weapons, and vehicles – then take them on an epic journey through the Tides of War. Experience the most intense, immersive Battlefield yet. You will never be the same.
Battlefield V launches for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Origin on November 20, 2018.
