The official Battlefield 1 Gamescom trailer has released and it's showing off the gameplay that we will get to experience later this month!
The Battlefield Open Beta is set to begin on August 31st for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Origin for PC. If you're a Battlefield Insider, however, you get to access the beta ahead of time. If you sign up for the Battlefield Insider program before August 21st, you will get a beta code sent to you in advance (note: select your platform preference or you won't get a code!).
The open beta will include the Sinai Desert map. which includes ground warfare, as well as dogfights above the desert.
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.
Battlefield 1 is set to release on October 21 2016, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
