For those unfamiliar with the games, Battlefield 1 is set during World War 1 and earned mostly positive reviews at the time of its release. In fact, it was seen a sort of return to form for the franchise and DICE after some off years, and is generally considered one of the better Battlefield games in recent years. Battlefield V reviews weren’t quite as positive, but the game was still relatively well-received.
Whereas Battlefield 1 is set during World War 1, Battlefield V is instead set during World War 2. It features campaign and multiplayer modes, along with the Firestorm battle royale. Unfortunately for Battlefield V, the Firestorm battle royale mode didn’t quite take off like the battle royale modes in other games did. There are rumors that Battlefield 2042 will have a battle royale mode at some point after launch, but the developers have denied these claims.
In any case, this is a great opportunity for anyone interested to try the two latest games in the Battlefield series while they wait for Battlefield 2042. The Battlefield 2042 release date is October 22, so there’s still a few more months to wait, but fans won’t actually have to wait that long to play the game. A Battlefield 2042 open beta is planned to take place at some point prior to the game’s release date, giving fans the opportunity to try ahead of time.
