Overview

• Previews across multiple outlets show Mirak Valley, the largest launch map set in Tajikistan, delivering expansive vehicle-heavy combat alongside close-quarters fights.
• Operation Firestorm from Battlefield 3 has been remade for the launch roster with modernized destruction and modest sightline adjustments that preserve its identity.
• Escalation debuts as a Conquest-style mode where holding more zones fills a meter, capture points are removed as teams score, and vehicle counts increase toward a focused finish.
• Battlefield Studios reports beta-driven tuning for launch, including reduced shotgun lethality, helicopter handling closer to Battlefield 4, a single-launcher limit for engineers, and curtailed slide-jump effectiveness.
• The game launches October 10 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC with nine maps, while a separate battle royale and potential additional remasters are in development or suggested by datamines with timing unconfirmed.
