EA apologizes after 'Battlefield V' miscast a real-life antifascist

Real-money transactions are coming to 'Battlefield V' tomorrow
Like it or not, EA's fondness for microtransactions has spread to Battlefield V.

At first, it'll be used strictly for cosmetic items, including new Epic-ranked items. Later, however, it'll be used for items with a more practical effect on gameplay -- and that might not be the greatest news for gamers.
Updated 'Battlefield V' roadmap teases Pacific theater combat
Now that Battlefield V's long-promised battle royale mode is nearly here, how else are DICE and EA going to keep you interested? By moving the action halfway around the world, apparently. The developers have posted an updated roadmap teasing a fifth chapter in fall 2019 that might be set in the Pacific. While the team isn't directly sharing details beyond the hints of "all-out invasion" in a brand new theater, the title ("Awakening the Giant") says a lot. PC Gamer points out that Japan's Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was concerned the Pearl Harbor attack "awaken[ed] a sleeping giant" by dragging the US directly into the conflict. Don't be surprised if BFV has you island-hopping as the US first reels from the Japanese assault and eventually turns the tables.
'Battlefield V' gameplay trailer shows its take on battle royale
In the wake of seemingly endless teases and leaks, DICE and EA are ready to show gameplay from Battlefield V's imminent Firestorm battle royale mode. True to the scoops, it's not quite a cookie-cutter BR experience. While you'll have familiar mechanics like dropping into the arena, an ever shrinking circle and varying gear quality, you can also complete objectives (such as contestable resupply points) and unlock safes to score better equipment. Get knocked down and you'll still have a pistol to defend yourself, so enemies take a risk if they come to finish you off.
