Battlefield V (also known as Battlefield 5, BFV or BF5) is the upcoming sixteenth installment in the Battlefield Series developed by DICE and published by EA. The game brings the series back to its origins, being set during World War II. It is set to be released worldwide on October 19th, 2018.

Overview
Battlefield V returns to the major conflict of World War II, with a heightened focus on the lesser known battles of the war. The game is designed to be the most immersive experience in the series, with storylines of male and female soldiers across major battles.

As a means to keep Battlefield V's player base less segmented, EA will no longer charge for additional maps and game modes. Instead, a new overall hub called Tides of War will tie together all of Battlefield V ' s various modes.

The Company is a new feature where players can easily customize their soldier, weapons, and vehicles across both singleplayer and multiplayer.

Singleplayer
Similar to Battlefield 1, Battlefield V ' s main campaign will be made up of a collection of different War Stories. These stories will document the conflicts of both male and female soldiers during the great war. Players will experience freezing landscapes as a Norwegian resistance fighter, as well as a soldier in the midst of the desert heat of North Africa. Currently, these are the only two War Story locations to be revealed.

Classes
Battlefield V has drastically changes the class system compared to previous installments. While the basic class system returns, Class Archetypes have been introduced which allow players customize the skills of each class to better specialize it for a certain situation. As progression is about through classes, more Archetypes are unlocked.

Maps and Gamemodes
A new multiplayer mode called Combined Arms will combine the feel of Battlefield’s online mayhem with a new narrative twist. Four players team up into a single squad and team up to fight across a slew of different locations as a team of paratroopers, blending the kind of action expected from the game's online competitive modes with stealth sections and cinematic twists.

Several classic multiplayer game modes return to Battlefield V alongside major and minor tweaks. The Operations mode has expanded into Grand Operations. This all-new live objective-based mode splits matches over the course of four fictional days, providing players with four unique and distinct game modes, each with their own custom rules and map layouts. Players relive various vast historical battles across these four days, with the outcome of each day affecting a team's status in the next:

Picking up where the previous day left off, map destruction and number of deaths remain. If on the final day players remain at a stalemate, this will be their last stand, as there are no respawns.

The classic Battlefield multiplayer mode, Conquest, returns offering a 64 player competitive mode.
