News: The next Battlefield game is going to World War 1 with 64 player multiplayer and a campaign that will take you around the world.

EA has just officially revealed that the next game in the Battlefield franchise will be titled, Battlefield 1. In Battlefield 1 you will be able to bring a horse to a tank fight and squad up with your allies in multiplayer battles with up to 64 players. There will be ever changing environments at the dawn of all out war so that no battle will be the same.

Battlefield 1 takes you across multiple and varied locations in a bid to fight your way through immersive battles. From tight urban fights in a besieged French city, to big open spaces in the Italian Alps and frantic combats in the deserts of Arabia, you will discover a world at war through an adventure-filled campaign.

In a true multiplayer sandbox experience, take to the skies and engage in high-octane dogfights through treacherous landscapes, or have a battleship obliterating the coast from the sea, and engage in some of the biggest battles ever seen as empires clash for supremacy.

“The game will deliver a fresh experience full of what makes Battlefield great, with a multiplayer sandbox, immersion, epic scale, authenticity, team play and an ever-changing world full of unexpected Battlefield moments,“ said Aleksander Grøndal, Senior Producer, DICE. “We’re inviting players on an epic journey across a war-torn world, taking them to the Great War and providing something both varied and unique in Battlefield 1.”

Set against the backdrop of World War 1, you will witness the birth of modern warfare, as the Great War saw a furious arms race with new machines and weapons created to get the upper hand during the most technologically divergent war of all time. You will get to feel the intensity and immersion as Battlefield 1 takes advantage of this modern arsenal to deliver the experience fans love, but with a fresh and modern twist.

Battlefield 1 is slated to be released on October 21 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. You will be able to play Battlefield 1 five days early on Xbox One thanks to EA Access as well as on PC thanks to Origin Access.
