The developers of Battlefield 5 have given an initial insight into Chapter 1: Overture. We show you what to expect.
After the developers of Battlefield 5 postponed the release of the first chapter of Tides of War, they are now giving fans an exclusive first look at the chapter as compensation.
In a Twitch stream, the developers showcase the new map, vehicle modifications, and much more. We let you know what you can look forward to.
Server stability prevented the new update
During the stream, Community Managers Dan Mitre and Jeff Braddock, along with map designer Joe Shackelford and Dev Manager Ben Turner, discussed the postponement of the update and the new features it brings.
Why was the update stopped? It was initially supposed to be released today, December 4th. However, it was halted at the last moment.
The developers stated that server stability was poor and they could not rule out a server crash.
In order for players to fully enjoy the new chapter, the developers withdrew the update and now plan to work on ensuring stability along with the update.
When is the Overture update coming? The developers are working hard to get the update into the game soon. They have already prepared an improved version of the new update and want to test it now.
Developers showcased the new map and improvements
In the nearly two-hour livestream on Twitch, the developers showed viewers what is coming.
New map will be huge: The new map “Tank Storm” is a must for tank fans.
It is the largest map in Battlefield 5 so far and is designed for a massive tank battle. Up to seven tanks per team can fight against each other on the map. Infantry can take out tanks using anti-tank traps.
An insight into the new story: The developers also showed a small preview of the new story “The Last Tiger”. In this, you play as a German soldier trying to defeat American troops with your tank.
