Following yesterday's detailing of several of Battlefield 5's Allied Forces campaign missions, DICE dropped the big one: Battlefield 5 has a War Story that takes place from the Axis Powers' perspective.

Speaking with Eurogamer , Franchise Design Director Daniel Berlin detailed Battlefield 5's The Last Tiger War Story, which puts players in control of a German soldier inside a Tiger tank. A DICE representative was clear to say, however, that the German soldier is not a Nazi. In fact, one of the biggest themes of the story is the tank crew's questioning of the Nazis' goals even as they fight for them."You may deny the actions you made, but even if you deny them you have to live with the consequences," said Berlin. "All actions have consequences, even in war, so that's an ongoing theme throughout the whole thing."And I don't want to spoil anything, but I hope that mantra helps you understand some of what I mean when I say it's not a hero story. It's really about this tank crew going to war in this crazy machine and they start to actually question why they fight."The mission came about for two reasons. Berlin said that a number of Battlefield 1 players requested a War Story from the German perspective. Additionally, Battlefield 1's tank mission was one of its most popular War Stories."There's a set of tanks you can have, but there's one tank I would claim is what the Spitfire is to airplanes: the Tiger tank," said Berlin. "It's almost a legend, the Tiger tank. There are stories like that Allied soldiers were told to retreat if they saw one, do not engage. The gun itself is as long a full Sherman tank, so we knew this vehicle was the tank we needed to make a War Story of, and of course that comes with the German perspective."Yesterday, DICE revealed that players will take control of French, English, and Norwegian forces in Battlefield 5's campaign. From what IGN has experienced of them, Battlefield 5's War Stories are better than Battlefield 1's Battlefield 5 will be released on November 20 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
