Battlefield V didn't garner the thunderous response Battlefield 1 received, but that hasn't stopped EA from working on new content for the game. Today, the team announced that the title is getting a Pacific theater arena on October 31 as a free update. You'll be able to invade the most iconic battlefields as American and Japanese forces.
According to developer DICE, the game is getting two new maps focused on the Pacific, a number of new weapons that were used during that particular conflict, and a new map in December. It'll be interesting to see how these maps differ the existing ones aside from the graphics. Let's hope they present new ways for players to engage one another.
Battlefield V fans have been unhappy with the slow pace of updates, and lots of missed deadlines on the previously-announced roadmap, but additions like this could be signs of EA trying to turn the ship around. However, only time will tell. Right now, Battlefield V is quite low on the list of "Most played games" on Xbox One.
Get ready for all-out warfare
Battlefield V's multiplayer combat remains as grand as ever, with stunning visuals and explosive gameplay. The Firestorm battle royale mode is as thrilling as ever.
