Battlefield V Chapter 5 Returning to Pacific Theater

As promised,Battlefield Vwas given a spotlight at E3 2019’s EA Play event. There wasno sign of dinosaursas was previously teased by the developers, but DICE did give fans a look at some major future content forBattlefield V, including the franchise’s long-awaited return to the Pacific Theater.

This fall,Battlefield Vwill get its Chapter 5 update that will add the Pacific Theater to the game. Chapter 5 will focus on US and Japanese forces, which have largely been left out ofBattlefield Vso far. TheBattlefield VChapter 5 update will add three new maps set in the Pacific Theater, and while most of those maps are still being kept underwraps, we do know that at least one will be set in Iwo Jima.

TheBattlefield VChapter 5 update will do more than just add new maps set in the Pacific Theater. It will also add new cosmetics, weapons, and vehicles. More specifically,Battlefield Vfans can look forward to more amphibious vehicles when the Chapter 5 update comes to the game this fall.

Meanwhile, someBattlefield Vfans may be more interested in theFirestorm battle royale mode. Unfortunately, Firestorm wasn’t given much attention at the EA Play event, but that doesn’t mean that the mode is being abandoned by DICE. In fact, the addition of the Pacific Theater seems like the perfect opportunity to add a new map to Firestorm battle royale, but that’s just speculation at this time.

It remains to be seen just how ambitious DICE will be with theBattlefield Vbattle royale mode. Firestorm was met with a great deal of enthusiasm at launch, but since then, it seems to have struggled to keep players engaged on a long-term basis. Perhaps this is why we didn’t hear much about Firestorm at EA Play, and maybe it could be a sign that DICE will focus its efforts solely on the standard versus multiplayer inBattlefield Vmoving forward.

Whatever the case may be,Battlefield Vfans at least have plenty of new standard multiplayer maps to look forward to later this year, including some set in the Pacific Theater.
