Battlefield V
Battlefield V is a first-person shooter set during World War II. Its multiplayer features large-scale battles with infantry, vehicles, and aircraft across various theaters of the war, with modes including Grand Operations (multi-stage campaigns simulating wartime offensives) and Firestorm (a battle royale mode). The single-player component consists of episodic "War Stories" that follow different characters across lesser-known fronts of the conflict. The game emphasizes squad-based teamwork, player customization through a Company system, and resource scarcity. It is the successor to the World War I-themed Battlefield 1.
What it's about
Armed conflict, warfare, and military operations across World War II theaters form the entire thematic core. Set firmly in World War II with grounding in historical theaters and lesser-known fronts of the conflict. While primarily action-focused, the episodic War Stories explore human experiences across different fronts, touching on war's impact.
How it plays
Aiming and firing firearms with tactical feedback is the core mechanical loop of moment-to-moment play. Large-scale battles prominently feature infantry, vehicles, and aircraft as central systems players interact with. Squad-based teamwork implies distinct character roles and classes with specialized abilities and loadouts.
How it looks and sounds
First-person perspective is the foundational visual mode for this shooter, defining how players experience the world and combat.
How it's structured
