Players can control several characters in the campaign. Destructible environments and weapon customization, features present in the previous games, return in Battlefield 1 and will be more dynamic.Īccording to the game's designer, Daniel Berlin, the campaign mode has larger and more open environments than those in previous installments in the franchise, with more options and choices in terms of paths to completing levels and how to approach combat. Players can also take control of various armored vehicles, including light and heavy tanks, armored trucks, biplane aircraft, battleships and zeppelin, as well as ride horses into battle. These melee weapons were divided into two groups: heavy and light. Melee combat was reworked, with DICE introducing new melee weapons such as sabres, trench clubs, and shovels into the game. Players can make use of World War I weapons, including bolt-action rifles, automatic and semi-automatic rifles, artillery, flamethrowers, and mustard gas to combat opponents. The game is set in the period of World War I, and is inspired by historic events. Similar to previous entries in the series, Battlefield 1 is a first-person shooter that emphasizes teamwork.

The game is to be released on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One worldwide on October 21, 2016. It is the first main entry in the series since Battlefield 4 (2013), and the first World War I video game published by Electronic Arts since Wings of Glory in 1994. Despite its name, it is the fifteenth installment in the Battlefield franchise. Battlefield 1 is an first-person shooter video game developed by EA DICE, published by Electronic Arts.
