When pressed on their plans for the future, Stanley said: вЂњNothing to talk about at the moment, no.вЂќ вЂњIt's really important for that to be a part of this at this point and be a way for Battlefield players to experience something different in the Battlefield universe. The same applies to weapons and vehicles that you use in Firestorm. вЂњObviously there are multiple links when you are playing Firestorm that tie back into Battlefield 5, so any XP you earn ties back into Tides of War and Chapter Ranks and all these kind of things. вЂњAt the moment, it's really important for Firestorm to come out and be part of Battlefield 5.

When asked about BattlefieldвЂ™s commitment to a premium price-point at a Firestorm preview event, John Stanley, a senior designer at Criterion Games, said: Despite selling roughly 7.5 million copies of Battlefield 5, this would mean that the prospective player-base for Firestorm could be significantly less than the 50 million overall players boasted by Apex Legends and FortniteвЂ™s record of 10 million concurrents.

Games like Fortnite and EAвЂ™s Apex Legends raced to huge player counts on the back of their free-to-play model, which monetizes from selling virtual currency to buy cosmetic character skins, as well as with a seasonal вЂњbattle passвЂќ which offers things like themed in-game items, xp bonuses, and unique challenges.Д«attlefield 5вЂ™s new Firestorm battle royale mode, however, is a free add-on to the base game, but still part of the paid-for package.

The tense multiplayer action of battle royale games made them popular, but itвЂ™s the accessibility of many of the genreвЂ™s biggest hits that made them a worldwide sensation.
