Why, who could live without more battle royale?
Looks like DICE is hopping on the battle royale train with a mode for Battlefield 5. According to Venture Beat, a source close to the studio says just such a mode is in testing
[…]DICE is investigating how a massive, last player-standing mode would work with its current mechanics. But don’t expect to drop onto an island with 99 other players when Battlefield V launches this fall. The studio has not yet approved its battle royale for release, and it is still in the prototype phase. If DICE does decide that it’s happy with what it has, it won’t have it ready in time for the initial release.
On the plus side, if the mode makes it through, it’ll be a free update to the game, as it definitely won’t make launch in such a case. Granted, battle royale is already an oversaturated market, with the top spots already on lockdown. But since it’s not the core mode for Battlefield 5, there’s no harm in having some extra variety.
Battlefield 5 should be launching late this year. We’ll know more come E3 2018.
