Battlefield V Firestorm PS4 PlayStation 4

Battlefield V is set to arrive in just under a month's time on 20th November, and EA has mapped out some of the updates coming to the game post launch. Interestingly, this includes Firestorm, the WW2 shooter's equivalent of the wildly popular Battle Royale. The mode, which is largely being developed by Criterion, won't be present when the game is released, but will arrive a few months later, in March of next year.

"During spring, DICE and Criterion start the fire with Battlefield V’s battle royale experience," EA states. "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."

It's not the only post launch update on the way, of course. Before Firestorm, the fourth and final chapter in the War Stories single player campaign will be made available, as will a practice range, new maps, vehicle customisation, and more. As the publisher has already mentioned, all content updates for Battlefield V will be free of charge.
