EA confirms Battlefield 5 will have a single player campaign

Electronic Arts may not be everyone's favorite company -- or anybody's really -- but it does do some things right: namely, it's continuing the trend of including a single player game in its flagship shooter series, Battlefield. This comes after rumors suggest that the next Call of Duty game would ditch the classic companion to the more popular multiplayer mode, making the game PvP only.

As much as the multiplayer games for popular shooter franchises like Call fo Duty and Battlefield tend to be the more popular aspects of them, there is still a large crowd of players who prefer the single player, bombastic corridor shooter experience. Gamers who harken back to the days of Call of Duty 2 or World at War, remember fondly their times stomping Nazis into the dust and although the bad guys might have changed, war sure looks prettier today than ever before.

But single player may be falling out of favor with major developers and publishers as CoD is said to be dropping it from its future titles. Not so with Battlefield though and it may even have an additional type of game mode in the next release too.

VG247 reports that alongside the confirmed single player mode, there will be a new multiplayer mode, seemingly inspired by Battle Royale games. It is said to be a large scale multiplayer mode that spans multiple maps. EA also claims that the experience will evolve with the game and the players themselves, so we may have more of a Battlefield as a service with the next iteration of the game.
