It’s a little unfortunate, but Battlefield 5’s first free DLC update – which was due to release today – has now been postponed due to technical problems.
Aside from sounding like the start of an orchestral piece, Chapter 1: Overture is the initial part of Battlefield’s new “Tides of War” live service system, and is supposed to provide players with a host of new content. Despite forming an essential part of Battlefield’s flagship post-launch plans, the team at DICE has chosen to withhold the update “rather than create issues in the game”.
The good news is the delay doesn’t sound too severe, and DICE has promised to issue a further update on the situation at some point today.
