Battlefield 5 gets its battle royale mode March 2019
Battlefield 5 gets its battle royale mode March 2019, DICE has announced. In a post on EA's website, DICE said Firestorm, Battlefield 5's battle royale mode, kicks off as part of new content coming to the game during spring 2019 - four months after the World War 2 shooter launches proper.
- EA - With eight maps set in frozen landscapes, desert heat, and everything in between, eight exciting game modes, single-player War Stories, outstanding gunplay, a wide arsenal of weapons, vehicles, and gadgets, progression, customization, Specializations for weapons and vehicles, and much more – you’ll have tons to do at the November 20 launch of Battlefield™ V.
However, that is just the beginning. There's also everything coming in Tides of War, the live service for Battlefield V. As the Tides of War journey kicks off, each of its chapters will evolve and expand the battlefield. What will this mean to you as a player? Starting off in broad terms, below is what you can look forward to post-launch.
- Evolving Gameplay: Thrilling ways of experiencing Battlefield V will be added through fresh Fortifications, and Reinforcements. Iconic WW2 hardware like vehicles, weapons, and gadgets will also be added.
- New Experiences: Play through a new single-player War Story dubbed The Last Tiger, co-op with a friend in Combined Arms, do battle royale the Battlefield™ way in Firestorm, experience new game modes and Grand Operations, and hone your skills in the upcoming Practice Range.
- An Expanding World: You’ll get to deploy on fresh maps as chapters bring new battlefields. Shortly after launch, this starts with Belgium and the Panzerstorm map with tank-focused gameplay, expanding to the battlefields of Greece – and the journey will continue.
- Game Improvements: Quality of life updates will regularly improve Battlefield V, fix bugs, and balance the game.

They should have added a BR mode to BF1 by now, and BFV should have it on release.
If anything, it shows difficulty to adapt fast and be reactive. Organization, managing efficiency issues?
Meanwhile they're promoting the solo campaign that no one care about lol.
Looks like this company needs a reality check, i hope some indie studios gonna disrupt their market and make them react.

In my mind Battlefield and Battle Royale are two different things.

Likewise and I do not think the BF crowd cares much about the battle royale mode either.
I still play BF1, BF4, and Bad Company 2 when life/free time allows and the vast majority of servers play conquest only. Occasionally rush or frontlines in BF1 (neither is a big departure from conquest) and rarely a single populated TDM server. I bet battle royale mode is going to be played for a few weeks before it disappears from rotation on active servers. ...I get it EA/DICE, battle royale is still the trendy thing. You have to try to draw in the kiddos and streamers, but BF has always hinged on team / squad play and core audience for the series doesn't care.
Edit: core audience = "old" dudes like me who actually spend money on this series
I still play BF1942, and BF Vietnam!
But I'm stoked BF5 has single player.

I bet most players will have moved on to other games by next year. I mean what's the point in investing time in a game that gets replaced annually?
Also I'm not into the whole "rush mode" alá battle royale gameplay style (lack of tactics), but then again I can just keep playing ArmA and Tarkov.

I have never understood people who watch other people play, rather than playing themselfs :S
