Final Content Update for Battlefield V
New Battlefield V update this summer
Senior producer Ryan McArthur at DICE has posted an update talking about what’s next for Battlefield V.
“As we look to the future, we will release one more standalone update this summer that brings with it some new content, weapons, and game tweaks,” he said. “We’re still tackling the challenges from working from home and will let you know how things progress for us over the next month.”
- New content update this summer, scheduled for June
- Company Coin will be weekly rewards after the update
- DICE is planning “various weekly initiatives” for events
- Reintroduction of #FridayNightBattlefield servers
- Throwback Thursdays to bring community together
- Continuing work on Community Games Updates
Loose lips: DICE is also hard at work implementing new anti-cheat measures for Battlefield V. “Discussing technical detail into our methods may unfortunately make cheating worse, but we want you to know that we’re constantly fighting the battle,” said Ryan. What will the next chapter be about? Looks like we’re leaving the jungle for a nice dip in the Pacific.

Daily Fact
Rayman and the misplaced apostrophe
Genitive isn’t always easy and who really cares where those little apostrophes go anyway? Grocers, Grocer’s or Grocers’ – all the same, right?
At least that seems to have been Ubisoft’s take judging by 2005 Game Boy Advance title Rayman: Hoodlums’ Revenge, which had box art naming it “Hoodlum’s Revenge” in North America.
This suggests Rayman is faced with a single hoodlum thirsting for revenge instead of a veritable horde. We could have understood if no-one caught the error on the spine print, but this little orthographic blunder is right there in the front cover art. Whoopsie-daisy.

Game Spotlight
Moving Out
Version tested: Switch
Moving Out features the same kind of wacky physics-based fun as I Am Bread and Surgeon Simulator, but the fun dissipates after a while. Sure, you will chuckle at throwing a television out of a window and into a truck, but you will also get frustrated by everything always going wrong – despite the helpful assist mode.
While it’s definitely one of the more fun and polished examples of the things-go-wrong-in-physics-land idea and it has a lot of character, but still has limited appeal. If you really enjoy playing games that are about fighting intentionally bad controls and moving stuff into a truck is your idea of fun, then you’ll love Moving Out – but you can’t really play it on your own, and there’s no point to the difficulty, unlike a game like Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy.
