Battlefield 5 developer DICE has finally shed just a little more light on its “reimagined” battle royale mode that will make changes to the popular multiplayer style in interesting ways.

Officially dubbed Firestorm, the mode was given a proper name in a new overview video called This Is Battlefield 5 . It places players into 16 teams of four as they work together to remain the last group standing. It will take place on what DICE calls the largest map in Battlefield history. It’s referred to as a “sandbox filled with destructible buildings, weaponry and vehicles."Though that is all the information DICE gave on Firestorm, it appears that, like other battle royale modes, the map will continually shrink - though in BF5, it will likely be done as a ring of fire closes in on the remaining sections of the map.A few other details were shared in the video, including information on the single player War Stories. It looks like four shorter campaigns will be available at launch, with a fifth called The Last Tiger coming post-launch. DICE detailed one of the War Stories called Under No Flag, where “a young British criminal has the chance to use his unique sets of skills behind enemy lines in North Africa."DICE also discussed Tides of War, BF5’s free service that will continually introduce new content to the game and will not require any sort of premium pass. Right after launch, the first themed chapter titled The Fall of Europe will drop, and will take place in 1940’s France, with new content introduced daily and weekly. A second untitled chapter was also announced for 2019 and will “see the resistance rise up to take on the Axis threat,” debuting a new location in Greece.DICE originally teased a battle royale mode back at E3 , and it was hinted at again in a trailer last month . Battlefield 5 was recently delayed to November 20 , with DICE citing player feedback as a major reason for the delay. Battlefield 5’s open beta is accessible for early access players today , and will be open to other players beginning September 6.
