Electronic Arts announced that the upcoming launch of
Battlefield V is just the beginning of your journey through World War II a while ago, as the publisher puts a heavy emphasis on Tides of War, the premium pass-less live service for the game, and, unlike in last year's
Star Wars: Battlefront II, players won't be charged for additional content as the system is supposed to tell an overarching narrative.
Unfortunately, it looks like the fact that
BFV's version of a battle royal mode, Firestorm, won't launch before March and even the single-player campaign won't be completed until the solo story's last episode,
The Last Tiger, launches two weeks after the game's release, is not the only thing players have to worry about, as
Battlefield V now officially have at least four different release dates.
Gamers who plan to own
Battlefield V on its launch day will have a chance to play on the 20th of November, but if you order the more expensive Deluxe Edition you can play from 15th November. It's easy so far, right? Don't worry, it’s more complex than it seems, as EA Access subscribers will have a chance to check out a 10 hour trial from 9th November on Xbox One, but if you're a PC player, nothing will stop you from playing
BFV eleven days early thanks to the EA Origin Access Premier initiative.
It only applies to those who use EA Origin Access Premier, as the rest of PC community will get a 10 hour trial if they are tied to the basic version. PlayStation 4 owners will be left with nothing, as their only option is waiting until the game launches on November 20, 2018. EA seems to understand that the release strategy for
BFV may confuse potential consumers, so check out this special guide below:
