Battlefield V EA Play Trailers Showcase New Maps

Attachment 26637

Battlefield V might not have been the game that everyone had been hoping for, but it's still getting content coming through for its player base. Some of its new content seems particularly ambitious, especially a new set of maps that are on the way for the game.

Although many people had been extremely excited for Battlefield's return to WWII, Battlefield V did not quite meet expectations. A lack of cohesion over what it wants to be has seen criticism from some, while its real money microtransactions did little to help the title or EA's reputation when it comes to purchasable content in its published games. Nonetheless, Battlefield V has still had its fans, in particular due to DICE's handling of its shooter gameplay.

Those who have stuck with the game will soon be treated to some new content, with particular focus on a set of three new maps. As revealed at the EA Play event, the first of these is Al-Sandan, which is based in the African desert. Those who want a larger, more expansive experience will be fans of Al-Sandan, providing a lot of open space for players to take part in air combat. Al-Sandan is an adaption of a map from the core campaign, and will launch in Chapter 4 of Battlefield V.

The next map shared was Marita. This Greek map will have much more of a focus on closer combat, with lots of narrow streets and buildings to change things up. Based on the village that was at the start of the Battle of Greece, it has Allies defending the village from the Axis forces that are trying to grasp control. This can be seen in the trailer below, and will arrive in July.

The final map that has been confirmed for Battlefield V is Operation Underground, a tense underground battlefield that will no doubt add a different element for players. This will be arriving the latest of the three maps, launching in October.

All in all, this should mean that Battlefield V fans get a decent amount of extra run out of these three maps, particularly given that they all provide different tones. On top of that, though, the addition of Pacific elements in Chapter 5 of the game will mean that some of the most-wanted campaigns will be covered in the game. However, whether it will quite be enough to keep users happy remains to be seen.
