Featuring a fresh portrayal of one of mankind’s biggest conflicts, Battlefield V allows players to feel the unmatched intensity of all-out war and travel to unexpected but crucial moments of World War 2 through new and signature multiplayer modes, single-player War Stories and the cooperative Combined Arms. In Battlefield V, embark on a continuing, grand journey post-launch in the brand new Tides of War, created to make sure the battlefield is constantly evolving with new events, challenges, battles, and rewards that are always within reach – for all Battlefield V owners.

Battlefield V multiplayer will deliver the most immersive gameplay of the franchise in a sandbox environment that portrays the battles of World War 2, allowing players to feel the force of the fight and truly shape the war as the war shapes them. Players’ soldiers can now tow stationary weapons, build fortifications and repair war-torn structures to turn the battlefield to the player’s advantage. Whether dragging a squad mate to safety or shooting a grenade out of the sky, players will forge a deeper connection to the ever-evolving world around them and achieve victory against the toughest odds. With the freedom to adapt and evolve the battlefield in new and unseen ways, the battlefield will never be the same.


Battlefield V continues its foray into the Pacific as DICE today revealed new details surrounding Chapter 6: Into the Jungle. This next chapter in Battlefield V’s Tides of War campaign will launch on Thursday, February 6.

Deploy on a New Close-Quarter Map

Danger and opportunity are everywhere. On Solomon Islands, you’ll fight through a jungle environment where you never know what’s lurking around the riverbend, by the dark mangroves, or in the hidden bunkers.

Whether you’re launching an American attack or defending the Japanese lines, the terrain can be your best friend – or your worst enemy.

Rivers and marshes block the path for infantry and tanks, but savvy soldiers can make the bottlenecks work for them. You’ll charge through narrow paths winding through dense jungle and fight over covered strongholds.

We’ve designed Solomon Islands for intimate jungle infantry combat combined with land and sea vehicle warfare. You’ll notice how a mode like Breakthrough shines when played on this map. Defenders can stay hidden and use the terrain to hold the line, but attackers will have several options: flanking, sending in infantry, or utilizing landing boats for a frontal assault.

Wield New Weapons and Gadgets

Three new weapons and two gadgets including the Type 11 LMG, Model 37 shotgun, M2 Carbine, M1A1 Bazooka, and devastating Lunge Mine Gadget can all be unlocked through Chapter Rewards. Three new elites including the highly skilled assault specialist Misaki Yamashiro, the fearless pilot Steve Fisher, and accomplished Zero pilot Akira Sakamoto will also be introduced in Chapter 6, with Misaki being unlocked in a unique way as a Chapter Reward.

Through your fights in Chapter 6, you can unlock three new weapons and two gadgets to spice up your arsenal. These powerful tools are all Chapter Rewards, meaning they’ll be rewarded when you earn Chapter XP and reach the required Chapter Ranks.

So, what’s coming? For the Support class, we have the Type 11 LMG and the Model 37 shotgun, which should cater to your mid- and short distance needs. Assault players will be able to unlock the M2 Carbine, an agile and fully automatic rifle great for clearing the jungles.

On the Gadget side, we find the Assaults’ vehicle-busting M1A1 Bazooka. This is a supreme anti-tank tool at long range, but you might want to use another tactic when you’re up close. 

The devastating Lunge Mine Gadget will arrive with Chapter 6, too. Assault and Support players can use this unique tool to counter enemy tanks.

Deploy as New Elites

Three new Elites featuring signature looks, personas, voices, and melee weapons are coming with Chapter 6: Into the Jungle.

Misaki Yamashiro

Focused and unrelenting, Misaki is a highly skilled assault specialist. Despite her young age, she’s experienced in jungle and tropical theaters of war. Misaki’s truly deadly in close quarters, where she wields a Commando Machete as her signature melee weapon. This Elite will be unlockable in a unique way. Instead of purchasing Misaki in the Armory, earn Chapter Rank to unlock her as a Chapter Reward. Reach Chapter Rank 40 before Chapter 6 ends and deploy as this fierce warrior.

Steve Fisher

When Steve’s not chasing down enemy fighters in the air, you’ll likely find him quoting his favorite film stars. This fearless but light-hearted pilot embraces combat as if there was never any danger to his life. Steve has a habit of finding himself in underdog situations, where he often makes good use of his melee weapon, the Knuckle Duster.

Akira Sakamoto

Young and excited. Though these are Akira’s main traits, he always wants to do the best job and follows orders to a T. He’s known for being in the right place at the right time when his wingmen need him. An accomplished Zero pilot, Akira has exceptional reflexes and ingenuity and has a repurposed Control Stick ripped from a destroyed airplane to function as a deadly melee weapon.

Progress and Earn Rewards in Chapter 6

Climbing Chapter Rank is how you’ll earn the best gear that Chapter 6 has to offer. You’ll progress through these 40 ranks simply by playing Battlefield V when the Chapter is active. On your journey towards max rank you’ll earn emblems, weapon skins, and uniforms – but also grander rewards like weapons and, at the very end, Elite soldier Misaki Yamashiro.

As usual, the Weekly Challenges can earn you even more rewards through your efforts on the battlefield. Choose your path in these challenge trees and earn Chapter XP, customization items, and full Chapter Rank tiers.

The Chapter 6 Premium Booster Pack

If you want to boost your Chapter 6 battles, the Chapter 6 Premium Booster Pack may be something for you. Found in the in-game store, this pack contains 2,000 Battlefield Currency, three Special Assignments, and, activated upon purchase, a 20% Chapter XP Boost along with six Tier Catch-Ups, used to jump reward tiers in your Chapter Rank progression. Two soldier outfits of the Epic rarity level will be yours, too: the Overlord (U.S.) and Homeland Guardian (Japan).

Finally, The Chapter 6 Premium Booster Pack lets you adorn your unlocked M1 Garand, Type 99 Arisaka, Type 97, and M3 Grease Gun weapons with the Gilded Epic Weapon Skins and your Corsair plane with the Spectacle paint job.

Deploy today with Battlefield V Year 2 Edition

Enjoy your time with Chapter 6: Into the Jungle. If you’ve not yet joined the all-out war of Battlefield V, the best way is through Battlefield V: Year 2 Edition. Here, you can experience WW2 as you’ve never seen it before, including a host of rewards: all weapons and vehicles across year one of the Battlefield V Tides of War Chapters and the most popular weapon and vehicle skins. Plus, customize your Company with two Epic soldier outfits! 

In new and classic multiplayer modes, players can lead their own unique Company to victory in a dynamic multiplayer experience where every battle is unique. The Company allows players to create and deeply customize their soldiers, weapons and vehicles that will evolve as they progress, covering everything from the way they look to the way they play. Fan favorite modes like the 64-player Conquest return, with the game’s multiplayer culminating in Grand Operations, an all-new live, event-based experience within Tides of War. These multimap, multi-mode dynamic events take players through vast historical battles to relive moments of bravery and desperation while fighting to the final objective.

The single-player campaign mode from Battlefield 1, War Stories, returns for Battlefield V. Witness the conflict through the eyes of men and women of World War 2 and experience untold stories of human drama, filled with Battlefield moments. Experience the freezing Norwegian landscapes as a young Norwegian resistance fighter or come ashore into the desert heat of North Africa - and more.

Tides of War is DICE’s new approach to live services, where players will set out on an epic journey with their Company in unexpected battles throughout World War 2. There will be no premium pass, all players will have access to the same maps and modes, keeping the community unified as they progress through Battlefield V. In Tides of War, their journey through World War 2 will grow through themed experiences that will include events and all-new ways to play like Grand Operations, while also unlocking the latest themed rewards such as weapons and vehicles to further shape their Company.

Battlefield V is now available worldwide for Xbox One, PS4 and Origin for PC.
