This game was released on October 21, 2016 and is no longer available to pre-order. Any incentives that were offered are listed below.

Battlefield 1 is a first-person shooter set in World War I. It is developed by EA DICE and runs on their proprietary Frostbite engine, which supports DX12. The game’s campaign is said to feature larger and more open environments, and offer more choice and variety to the players compared to the previous Battlefield installments. It includes a diverse set of locations, from Western front with its typical trench warfare, to Italian Alps and Arabian deserts.

The multiplayer aspect of Battlefield 1 is something fans of the franchise are especially looking forward to. Much like its predecessors, the upcoming game allows for up to 64 players on a server, and features a class system. There is a server browser, and an option for joining the matchmaking together as a five-player squad. Players can fight on foot and control vehicles used during WW1, such as tanks, bikes, biplanes, and battleships.
