Take A Three-Minute Tour Of Battlefield V's Battle Royale Mode
Battlefield V's long-delayed Firestorm mode arrives on March 25 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Firestorm is a 64-player battle royale mode that places heavy emphasis on vehicles that give players advantages on land, sea, and in air. The series' trademark destruction is also present, allowing players to knock down houses and drive through walls. Like most battle royale games, Firestorm offers just one map, which is 10 times larger than Battlefield V's Hamada.
As the mode's name implies, the world is on fire, and that blaze creates a constricting circle that brings opponents closer together. When you set foot in this world, you'll need to scour the terrain for weapons and gear, and hopefully coordinate with your teammates, who you can revive should they be knocked down. The trailer below does a nice job of selling the Battlefield experience we've come to expect, and teases a few twists for the battle royale genre that could give it a slightly different flavor than we've seen before. Here's hoping the delay ends up being worth the wait.
