Battlefield V is a first-person shooter set during World War II. Its multiplayer features large-scale battles with infantry, vehicles, and aircraft across various theaters of the war, with modes including Grand Operations (multi-stage campaigns simulating wartime offensives) and Firestorm (a battle royale mode). The single-player component consists of episodic "War Stories" that follow different characters across lesser-known fronts of the conflict. The game emphasizes squad-based teamwork, player customization through a Company system, and resource scarcity. It is the successor to the World War I-themed Battlefield 1.
