The Battlefield V reveal has unexpectedly provided an internet drama magnet, with its female characters apparently destroying the immersion of players who come to the series for a realistic, sober take on war with all its point capture rules and instant respawns. DICE doesn’t seem too bothered by it all, and the developers say they’re sticking by their decisions.
DICE GM Oskar Gabrielson tweeted a lengthy response to the whole conversation. “First, let me be clear about one thing. Player choice and female playable characters are here to stay. We want Battlefield V to represent all those who were a part of the greatest drama in human history, and give players choice to choose and customize the characters they play with.

“Our commitment as a studio is to do everything we can to create games that are inclusive and diverse. We always set out to push boundaries and deliver unexpected experiences. But above all, our games must be fun!”
To be clear, some of the backlash against Battlefield V has been about the irreverent tone displayed in the debut trailer rather than specifically the presence of female soldiers. Yet Gabrielson is much more concerned about the fun factor, reposting the GIF that’s been going around whenever the topic of Battlefield’s “realism” comes up, along with a response to the “#NotMyBattlefield” hashtag that’s come up since the reveal.
