What you need to know

  • Battlefield V is getting new maps throughout the summer.
  • You'll get a chance to fight in France and Greece.
  • There will be a steady stream of content in the coming weeks.
  • You purchase the game for $30 on Amazon.

Even though Battlefield V failed to set the charts on fire, it's still a thrilling game which builds upon Battlefield 1. The title has received numerous updates over the past few months, and this month it's about to get even better.

According to developer DICE, starting on June 27, Chapter 4: Defying the Odds will evolve Battlefield V with new maps rolling out throughout the summer. You can continue the Battle of Greece on the narrow streets of Marita and face all-out war on the vast Al Sundan map. You can also get up-close and personal in Provence and Lofoten. Towards the end of the season, you can enjoy the meat grinder of Operation Underground. Chapter 5 even brings more maps, weapons, and vehicles to the game.

It's great to see that Battlefield V keeps on receiving stellar post-launch support. Hopefully, this will attract more players to the game. Publisher EA admitted during its latest earnings calls that the title was a sales disappointment.

In our review, we said, "The lack of polish in some of the systems will get improved with patches, but the missed opportunities with the campaign content frustrate the full package. But ultimately, this is one of the best multiplayer shooters you will play this year, and maybe the best until the next Battlefield."
