Alright children, calm down. There’s a brand new Battlefield recreation coming, and that’s type of a giant deal. While Call of Duty might have fallen from grace considerably on PC, older Battlefield video games nonetheless stay decently populated. You’ll by no means have hassle discovering individuals to play Battlefield three with, and that got here out in 2011. At 8pm GMT (30 minutes from now, on the time of writing), EA can be unveiling Battlefield V reside by way of the YouTube stream that we’ve handily embedded for you inside. Come watch with us. I’ll put the kettle on.
So, what can we learn about Battlefield V thus far? Not a lot, aside from some UI elements briefly popping up during a tiny teaser with WW2-era flags suggesting a return to the seashores of Normandy, or maybe colder climes. Yesterday, EA began a Battlefield 1 & 4 DLC giveaway (nonetheless out there, I consider), with each packs sharing a Russian winter theme. A touch, or only a coincidence? Let’s discover out collectively. It’ll be an journey, I promise.
A warning for everybody’s personal well being and sanity: Don’t even attempt to learn the YouTube chat on the stream. At the time of writing (30 minutes earlier than begin) it’s flying previous at roughly a thousand miles an hour, about half of that being random profanity and swastikas.
It’s fascinating that they’re doing the grand reveal now, somewhat than at E3 in just some weeks. Normally this could be the type of factor that would dominate a commerce present, however I suppose the lull within the hype cycle earlier than an occasion like that makes this a ripe goal for constructing consciousness early. Not that it’s onerous to concentrate on the monolith that’s Battlefield.
