Eurogamer has today published a video providing a good look at some early alpha gameplay from the upcoming Battlefield 1 game. Currently under development by EA DICE and expected to officially launch on October 21st, 2016.
The first-person shooter will be available on both next-generation consoles, PS4 and Xbox One, as well as PC systems. This time, the game will be set in the period of World War I and has been inspired by historical events. This setting marks a significant departure from the modern and futuristic settings of previous Battlefield games, offering players a fresh and immersive experience.
Gameplay and Weapons
Within Battlefield 1, players can take advantage of a wide array of weapons such as bolt-action rifles, automatic and semi-automatic rifles, artillery, flamethrowers, and mustard gas to battle against enemies. The game also features melee combat with weapons like trench clubs, shovels, and bayonets, adding a brutal and visceral layer to the combat experience. The inclusion of these weapons aims to provide an authentic World War I experience, reflecting the brutal and gritty nature of the conflict.
The game also introduces various vehicles, including tanks, biplanes, and battleships, which players can use to gain a strategic advantage on the battlefield. The dynamic weather system and destructible environments further enhance the gameplay, making each battle unpredictable and engaging.

Community and Multiplayer Experience
Battlefield 1 aims to deliver a robust multiplayer experience, with large-scale battles featuring up to 64 players. The game includes several multiplayer modes, such as Conquest, Domination, and Operations. Operations is a new mode that spans multiple maps and offers a narrative-driven experience, where players must complete objectives to progress through the campaign.
The game also emphasizes teamwork and strategy, encouraging players to work together to achieve victory. Squads play a crucial role in Battlefield 1, allowing players to spawn on their squadmates and coordinate their efforts more effectively. The class system, featuring Assault, Medic, Support, and Scout classes, ensures that players can choose a role that suits their playstyle and contribute to their team’s success.
We’ve got our grubby little paws on a Battlefield 1 closed alpha code for the PS4, so join us at 3:30pm today to watch Ian stream some live Battlefield 1 PS4 gameplay. It’s gameplay taken from the Battlefield 1 alpha, so expect maybe some graphical hitches or crashes. Seemed to work OK when we were testing it, though. Tally Ho!
The closed alpha has provided valuable feedback to the developers, helping them fine-tune the game and address any issues before the official release. Players have praised the game’s attention to detail, historical accuracy, and the immersive atmosphere it creates.
In addition to the multiplayer experience, Battlefield 1 also features a single-player campaign that explores various perspectives of World War I. The campaign is divided into different “War Stories,” each focusing on a different character and aspect of the war. This approach allows players to experience the diverse and global nature of the conflict, from the trenches of the Western Front to the deserts of Arabia.
