In Battlefield 1, experience the dawn of all-out war on an
unmatched epic scale, full of a variety of new gameplay opportunities.
DICE set out to build the most immersive and dynamic Battlefield
game ever, continuing to improve their multiplayer sandbox experience
through ever-changing environments with intuitive destruction and
dynamic weather in up to 64-player battles. In Operations, a brand new
multiplayer mode, players can fully immerse themselves in a series of
interconnected battles, holding the front line across multiple maps. And
if the battle is looking lost, call in a Behemoth, the largest fully
player-controlled vehicle ever seen in Battlefield or deploy as
one of three destructive forces of the Elite Class. In the unique single
player campaign, players can immerse themselves in War Stories, played
from the perspectives of different protagonists across the globe from
the deserts of the Middle East to the skies of the Western Front.
"Battlefield 1 was a passion project for us at DICE and after
years of working with the World War 1 era, we realized what a perfect
fit it was for the Battlefield all-out-war style of play," said
Aleksander Grøndal, Senior Producer, DICE. "This was truly a fascinating
time as it gave birth to modern warfare with many weapons, vehicles and
gadgets being first introduced into the world and we wanted to share
those things through a modern lens for all players to experience."
When Battlefield 1 was first revealed in May 2016, it was lauded
by fans and media alike for the bold decision of setting, opening up the
possibilities for brand new gameplay opportunities. Since then, the Battlefield
1 reveal trailer became the most-liked trailer on YouTube this year
across any medium, with over 2 million likes, and sparked a momentum of
anticipation for the game leading up to today's launch.
