Watch The Official Battlefield V Reveal and Gameplay Trailer – Free DLC, New Co-op Mode and Release Date

The official reveal for the upcoming Battlefield V went live on May 23rd, as DICE gave fans their first full glimpse at the fifteenth main title entry in the franchise.

Prior to the reveal, there had been very little shown about the new game, with only a short GIF image posted which many believed to confirm a WWII setting.

And it didn’t take long for this to be confirmed in the opening moments of the reveal, as Battlefield V will actually continue chronologically from Battlefield I, and take players once more to WWII.
