Battlefield 1 Open Beta has no end date as of yet

During Gamescom, EA and DICE announced that Battlefield 1 will be getting an Open Beta on August 31st. The developers detailed the modes and map that would be available to Xbox One, PS4 and PC players during the beta, but there's one thing they never mentioned… When the beta would end.

Apparently, they didn't mention an end date because they simply don't have one. In our wildest dreams, the Open Beta would last until the game releases on October 21st, but those are just dreams.

Since we don't know what day it will end, here's what we do know. The Sinai Desert map will be our playing grounds. Sinai features both ground and aerial warfare, including vehicles. Two modes will be playable on this map:

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.
