UPDATE: We received an update from DICE and EA's PR letting us know that the blog has been updated and that the post originally contained outdated information as they are still developing the game. We have been told that Grand Operations will be available at launch. We asked if the mode would be included in the download and physical editions of the game, or if it would be online only, but have yet to receive a response.

It looks like everything is on course for Battlefield V — except for one of the biggest modes in the game that they publicized would be in it. In a new post where it appears like the company tried to spin it off as a positive, it appears that the Grand Operations mode will not be available with the game at launch, and instead will be released as a download days after it comes out.

Electronic Arts gave zero reasons as to why this has happened, and it's confusing as hell to us seeing as how it was the main focal point of what they showed off about Battlefield V back at E3, which we played for ourselves! It would be nice for Electronic Arts to tell us why we're not getting a complete game on October 19th, because we believe those waiting for the game are owed an explanation.

Grand Operations is the ultimate multiplayer experience, designed to seamlessly showcase the maps and modes of Battlefield V. Each Grand Operation presents a powerful narrative experience inspired by historical events. Shortly after launch, you will be able to take part in the first Grand Operation. In the months that follow, you'll continue the fight across other unseen and unplayed battlefields of World War 2.

Grand Operations is our upgraded version of Operations in Battlefield 1 – but now much greater than the sum of its parts. This modular experience takes players across fictional in-operation "days," where each day is represented by a round played on a combination of a map and mode that brings the narrative to life. The actions you, your squad, and your team take on day one will have a direct impact on the narrative and gameplay start of day two, which in result will impact day three, and so on.
