The Alpha for EA’s 2018 iteration in the Battlefield franchise – Battlefield V begins today. If you were invited to participate in the Alpha, you’ll be treated to one of the very first glimpses of World War 2 gameplay in EA’s beautiful Frostbite engine. The alpha gives players access to two modes: Conquest and the Grand Operation Fall of Norway, (which basically encompasses Airborne and Breakthrough) on the Arctic Fjord map.
If you weren’t invited to play but are still keen to see the gameplay – EA has allowed all footage to be uploaded and shared online, so everyone will get a glimpse of the vintage madness.
