The previous installment in the Battlefield franchise, Battlefield 1, contained a number of “war stories” that put player in the shoes of a wide variety of soldiers—including a female Bedouin rebel and an Australian message runner—as part of its single-player gameplay. This same element will be returning for Battlefield V.
Now, we don’t have a lot of info on all of the war stories that will be featured in the game when it launches in October, but during the Microsoft presentation at E3, the company provided a glimpse at the “Nordlys” chapter with a dramatic new teaser .
The cinematic teaser trailer reveals that the chapter will focus on a young female character, who is a young Norwegian Resistance fighter during the Nazi occupation.
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 will be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 19, 2018.
