Back on March 22, Dice revealed the roadmap for the rest of 2019 in terms of content for Battlefield V. A new map based on the Greek island of Crete – known as ‘Mercury’ is set for release in May, with a new 5v5 close-quarters mode set to follow in June.

However, it has been confirmed that they have altered that initial roadmap by finally announcing a date range for which players can expect the new Theater of War addition.

When will Chapter 4 and 5 release?

While the months had been known for the summer content, the epic Theater of War addition should freshen up the popular game after having a focus placed on the online content following the release of the Firestorm Battle Royale on March 25.

There may not be an exact release day for the Chapter 5 additions, even with Dice confirming a window for the new content, but at least fans will now be able to gear up for the new story before the turn of the year.

It remains to be seen just when and what Dice will reveal in their new story, with only the title of ‘Awakening The Giant’ being known so far.
