Firestorm: First Details of Battlefield V's Battle Royale Mode Gameplay Trailer


Now that DICE and Criterion Games' take on the ultra-popular genre is here, we've tried it out and found that it's not a huge departure from the PUBG format (there are tanks, so that's different), but if you prefer BF5's ballistics, it's pretty fun. It's also gorgeous—definitely the best-looking of the battle royale games.


Battlefield 5: Firestorm release date

Firestorm is available to all Battlefield 5 players right now, and Battlefield 5 is available on Origin.


For instance, it seems that vehicles will play a major role in this battle royale mode. Most of the preview is devoted to showcasing the various land, sea, and air vehicle options that players will find scattered across the mode's map. It also seems like Firestorm may place a larger emphasis on the danger of its closing circle (a sweeping fire) given how much attention the flames receive in this latest preview. We'll know for sure what this mode has in store for us when it launches on March 25.

The first time we saw Battlefield V's Firestorm mode was during a live stream event last year. Firestorm is Battlefield's take on the battle royale mode, but it's not quite like most of the popular battle royale modes out there. Firestorm sees 16 teams of four players battle across an open-world map described as the largest in the franchise's history. Based on the size of the Battlefield maps to date, that's actually saying something.

This map is filled with vehicles, weapons, and destructible environments that will ideally help you eliminate your competition. It appears that the size of the map will slowly be shrunk by a giant ring of fire that closes in on the player. It's not entirely clear how quickly this ring of fire moves, but we imagine that it will work like most other battle royale games (which is to say that it will work in stages that allow you a little breathing room).

The fact that the brief section of this trailer devoted to Firestorm focuses on the vehicles is probably not a coincidence. Fortnite features relatively few vehicles and PUBG's vehicles are largely for darting around the map as quickly as possible, but it seems like Firestorm is going to allow you to utilize tanks and other high-impact combat vehicles within the designated play zone. You can see more of how this will all work by checking out this new gameplay trailer that breaks down the mode.



What's especially interesting about Firestorm is that it doesn't sound like it's going to be a tacked-on battle royale mode that is designed to remind you of other popular games. The idea of a large-scale squad battle is both true to the spirit of the Battlefield series and a mode that Battlefield fans will be happy to try out based solely on the reason that they play Battlefield in the first place. We've seen Apex Legends up the ante on how squads work in a battle royale game, and Firestorm may find new ways to utilize that mechanic.



Battle Royale is a Burning Thing, and it Makes a Fiery Ring

From the moment you fall, down, down, down, from the sky, to when your boots hit the ground on the largest Battlefield map ever created – the encircling 



ring of fire presses in on you and your squad in an all-out war for survival among 16 squads of up to four players.
