Battlefield V: How DICE walked a tightrope on the The Last Tiger

After a brief 24-hour delay, Electronic Arts’ DICE studio is releasing Battlefield V‘s Overture chapter in the Tides of War series today. DICE spent time stamping out a bug, and now the game update will be live on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC today.

The update adds new multiplayer and single-player content for those who bought the game, which debuted on November 20, and we talked with DICE executives about the release in an interview. I spoke with DICE single-player producer Lars Gustavsson, engagement and core gameplay producer Ryan McArthur, and single-player design director Eric Holmes.
