Everyone who was looking forward to the first free content delivery for Battlefield 5 today will have to continue to exercise patience. The release of the first Tides of War DLC Chapter 1 Overture will be delayed.
What happened? Today, December 4, 2018, the first chapter of the new live service Tides of War was supposed to be released for Battlefield V – Chapter 1: Overture. Just yesterday, DICE had prepared the fans for the new content. However, as the developers announced a few hours ago on Twitter, Overture has now been postponed at short notice.
First Tides of War update for Battlefield 5 postponed due to issue
Why is Chapter 1 for Battlefield 5 delayed? DICE explained that a problem with the “Chapter 1 Overture” update was discovered at the last moment. Instead of creating further problems in the game, they decided to hold back the update for the time being. They did not provide further details about the issues.
When will the first Tides of War update come? DICE did not provide a specific date. However, the tweet stated that they do not expect a long delay. There could be news about it today.
On the official Twitter account of Xbox, there was a tweet that mentioned December 5 as the new date. However, this message has since been deleted.
What about the patch for Battlefield 5? This is still unclear. The developers stated that the Tides of War update will be postponed. Whether the complete patch for Battlefield 5 will be delayed, which should also adjust the Time to Kill, or just the first free content delivery will take longer, is not known.
How are the fans reacting? Many fans are disappointed and react with mockery. “Welcome to Battlefield” is a common sentiment from Reddit users. They were initially excited about the new content that should have been in the game from the start, only to have it postponed moments later. Many are therefore annoyed and frustrated.
However, there are also voices calling for reason, emphasizing that it is better to hold back a flawed update briefly than to create more problems in the game.
What do you think about the delay? Did DICE make the right decision? Or can you understand the disappointment of the fans?
