The next major release in the battle royale space is Battlefield 5's take on the genre, known as Firestorm. And just mere days away from the launch of the AAA battle royale, a new trailer shows gameplay and goes into more detail than ever before about what players can expect when they jump into the mode on March 25th.

The titular Firestorm is the name of one of the genre's signature mechanics: the enclosing circle that will drive players into an ever-smaller region of the biggest map ever in a Battlefield game. Being the more realistic-focused Battlefield franchise, the circle is a literal ring of fire that will not only consume players who don't manage to stay within its boundary, but it also has the ability to destroy buildings, structures, and the environment over which it passes.

The trailer touts that Firestorm will feature Battlefield's signature gunplay, combat vehicles, and destructible environments. That includes 17 vehicles at launch ranging from cars to tractors to tanks, boats, and helicopters that will allow players to traverse land, sea, and air. And, as expected in any battle royale, players will need to gear up along the way with Common, Rare, and Epic weapons, gadgets, and armor.

Some of the best of that gear looks to be locked behind safes, strongboxes, vehicle lockups, resupply point objectives, and random supply drops that will take some effort and luck to access. In the trailer, it's clear that the locations of this highly-valuable gear could quickly turn into the perfect location for an enemy squad to spring a trap.

Battlefield 5's Firestorm will also offer its own small twist to the battle royale formula. Whereas in many battle royales, including Fortnite and Apex Legends, once players are down they can do little more than retreat to cover, in Firestorm players get a few rounds in a sidearm with which to defend themselves and attempt to turn the situation around.

While the popularity of battle royale games such as Apex Legends, Fortnite, and Call of Duty's Blackout continue with those games carving out their own place in the gaming landscape, time will tell how well players attach to this new battle royale from Battlefield.

Battlefield 5 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Firestorm releases March 25, 2019.
