Senior producer Ryan McArthur has revealed in a blog post that upcoming standalone update would feature new content, in-game tweaks and weapons. However, there were no details on exactly what their next patch will be focusing on.

DICE is currently planning for a June 2020 release but this launch window may get pushed back due to developers working from home amidst recent lockdown for global COVID-19 pandemic and will inform of any further changes next month.

DICE moving on from content delivering doesn't necessarily mean that there will be no updates in future at all. B5 dev team will be hosting regular weekly events and offer Company Coin rewards as they try to improve their anti-cheat system.

BV featured battle royale mode, multiplayer matches, vehicular combat and a single-player campaign with multiple chapters. Debuted through Tides of War experience, these chapters are centered on various theatres of war from WWII.

Battlefield 5 moved away from its traditional "Premium Pass" system that would allow players to purchase game modes and map packs. Instead, publisher Electronic Arts chose to add these contents in post-launch period through a live service.

Receptions of players were mixed towards this model since B5 saw a shallow launch and had many features missing. Nevertheless, EA CEO Andrew Wilson decided to continue a live service business mode for next Battlefield game.

Last year, EA DICE and Electronic Arts have announced to release their next Battlefield project in 2022. They are likely to take time and make sure a BV follow-up title gets a complete release to avoid another disappointing audience reaction.

Battlefield V came out in 2018 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as latest installment from long-running titular first-person shooter series, continuing a modern-day reimagination of World War events from its predecessor Battlefield 1.
