E3 2018: Battlefield V Battle Royale Announced At EA Play

E3 at 2018 has kicked off with a bang. EA is starting the entire week of new video game goods with their press conference event, dubbed EA play. They kicked off the presser with a small tidbit about Battlefield V, but it was a big one. Battle Royale is officially coming to the environmentally destructive shooter.

Very little detail has been announced as of yet. Following a reiteration of the promise that Battlefield V will not have loot boxes or a season pass,  is simply called “Royale”, but it looks to feature quite a bit of the structural and environmental damage in matches that players have come to expect from the best parts of the Battlefield V. We have a Twitch clip of the announcement as it happened below.

Battlefield V is the latest of many to join the battle royale trend. Earlier this year when Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 was announced, Activision also announced a battle royale mode for the game, called "Blackout". It would seem that Battle Royale style gaming is here to stay as the major shooter franchises enter into the genre with their own takes on the style of game.

Battlefield V is slated for October 19 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. We’ll have more details on the Battle Royale mode of the game as they become available.
