Battlefield 5 developer DICE has finally shed just a little more light on its “reimagined” battle royale mode that will make changes to the popular multiplayer style in interesting ways.
Officially dubbed Firestorm, the mode was given a proper name in a new overview video called This Is Battlefield 5. It places players into 16 teams of four as they work together to remain the last group standing. It will take place on what DICE calls the largest map in Battlefield history. It’s referred to as a “sandbox filled with destructible buildings, weaponry and vehicles.”
Though that is all the information DICE gave on Firestorm, it appears that, like other battle royale modes, the map will continually shrink – though in BF5, it will likely be done as a ring of fire closes in on the remaining sections of the map.
