Friday was the announcment that Electronic Arts and DICE have officially announced Battlefield 1. It is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC worldwide on October 21 (not October 18 as the previous leak indicated).
The game is set during World War I and promises the 'dawn of all-out war' and 'classic Battlefield gameplay' with 64-player multiplayer where you can 'bring a horse to a tank fight,' and an 'adventure-filled campaign. Players can sign up to become a Battlefield Insider to get early access to the Battlefield 1 public beta, in-game rewards, exclusive content, and sneak peeks at news about Battlefield.
Battlefield 1 takes you across multiple and varied locations in a bid to fight your way through immersive battles. From tight urban fights in a besieged French city, to big open spaces in the Italian Alps and frantic combats in the deserts of Arabia, discover a world at war through an adventure-filled campaign.
In a true multiplayer sandbox experience, take to the skies and engage in high-octane dogfights through treacherous landscapes, or have a battleship obliterating the coast from the sea, and engage in some of the biggest battles ever seen as empires clash for supremacy.
Set against the backdrop of World War 1, witness the birth of modern warfare, as the Great War saw a furious arms race with new machines and weapons created to get the upper hand during the most technologically divergent war of all time. Feel the intensity and immersion as Battlefield 1 takes advantage of this modern arsenal to deliver the experience fans love, but with a fresh and modern twist.
