Games discussed:

The new trailer for Battlefield V is here, and it's a doozy. Setting the stage for the way BF5 will take on the most insane moments of WWII's battles. It's absolutely gorgeous, but also so bleak it hurts. Kudos for the House of the Rising Sun cover too.

From the press release:

In the “Battlefield V - Official Gamescom Trailer - Devastation of Rotterdam,” fans get a fresh look into the untold and unseen side of World War 2. The trailer features thrilling, never before seen gameplay footage of the new Rotterdam map, which immerses players in a battle fought throughout the streets of Holland, where the Germans attempted to seize the Dutch city.
Throughout the trailer, the game’s dynamic physicality and destruction is on full display. As the architecture crumbles and gives way, torn by the devastation of close quarters combat, truly no battle in Battlefield V will ever be the same.
