Battlefield V’s new trailer embraces tradition after debut video’s backlash

Electronic Arts has released a new trailer for Battlefield V today, which you can watch above. After the controversial debut trailer angered some fans (it has more dislikes than likes on YouTube), this video takes a more traditional (a less woman-lead) approach. Battlefield V releases on October 11 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

The first trailer for Battlefield V followed a woman amputee in the war who fights in a setting that feels more colorful than what we’ve seen from past World War II games. A contingent of fans complained on social media in places like Reddit that the game didn’t “look” like World War II, with specifically pointing to the female character as “unrealistic.” The new video goes back to the formula that EA has used for games like Battlefield I, showing a montage of action played over a cover of a famous song.
