Battlefield 5 Launch Day Notes Are Over 22,000 Words

As one of the biggest releases of this month, if not the entire year, DICE’s Battlefield 5 has quite the challenge ahead to meet expectations. Fortunately, the developer has been listening to feedback and implementing changes since its last open beta. To that end, multiplayer producer David Sirland revealed on Twitter that the launch day notes were over 22,000 words.

The actual number is 22,653 words and would likely give some competition to Larian Studios’ 50 page patch notes for Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition. However, will all of the changes and details in the notes be deployed early for EA Access, Origin Access Basic, and Origin Access Premium subscribers? It’s not exactly confirmed.

Sirland notes in a later tweet that making all these notes into a video would take forever. He notes that this document can be worked on “on the side for two weeks or so”. That seems to line up with the game’s launch on November 20th for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Regardless, it won’t be long before the game is live for those with early access.

Release/Launch notes – final draft. It's going massive. I don't think I'll beat this for a while… @JaqubAjmal pic.twitter.com/CLnnDx1nkx

That would take us forever, this document we can work on on the side for 2 weeks or so. For future patchnotes (that are obviously much much smaller, sure).
For this one, consider it a gift from us to you content people out there :).
