EA is planning to pull out all the stops to make sure Battlefield V is a success. As we reported last week, financial analysts with inside EA connections have warned Battlefield V pre-orders are “weak,” particularly compared to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2. To make matters worse, Patrick Söderlund, a man considered to be one of the main architects of the Battlefield series’ success, is leaving EA.

Well, according to a new insider report from VentureBeat, it isn’t just analysts and outsiders who are concerned about Battlefield V — the game’s pre-orders are also falling short of EA’s internal expectations. That said, it’s important to put things in perspective – pre-orders are lower than hoped, but they’re still better than some other EA disappointments like Titanfall 2. Patrick Söderlund’s departure is also said to have nothing to do with the state of Battlefield V.
