Official Gamescom Gameplay Trailer
If you weren’t on hand at e3 earlier this summer in LA, then you may have missed a chance at playing one of the most talked about new titles on the showroom floor. Luckily, EA is bringing their much-anticipated online shooter, Battlefield 1 to the public. With the game set to hit digital stores and retail chains on October 21st, a new 64-player open beta will arrive this August 31st.
Battlefield Insider members can get early access to the game if you sign up by August 21st, to ensure you receive a code for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Origin for PC platforms.
Take a look below at a brief breakdown of what to expect later this month.
The Battlefield 1 Open Beta will include the Sinai Desert map, a scorching hot battlefield located just East of El-Jifar. From infantry skirmishes in the narrow streets of the village of Bir el Mazar to dogfights above the majestic cliffs, you’ll need to make tactical use of the dunes as you engage in explosive battles. When all hope is lost, reinforcements will arrive in the shape of a powerful Behemoth: a deadly Armored Train charging through the desert sands.
Two modes will be available as well:
Conquest. An all-time fan favorite of Battlefield players, Conquest is a large-scale game mode with up to 64 players fighting for the control of key objectives. With large armies on foot or behind the wheel and the addition of fearsome Behemoths, Conquest brings together all the elements of the signature Battlefield All-Out War.
Rush. A 24-player mode where the Attacking force must find and destroy the Defending force’s Telegraph Posts, which can be used to call in artillery strikes. The Defenders can deny the Attackers their mission by disarming explosives they plant on the telegraph positions. Should the Telegraph Posts be destroyed, the Defenders must fall back to the next sector and protect the Telegraph Posts there.
