Thanks to Origin Access and EA Access, Battlefield 1 will be playable to subscribers of either service from tomorrow, October 13. That opens up DICE’s hotly-anticipated shooter to Xbox One and PC owners a little early, essentially, while those who pre-order the Early Enlister across any platform can hop into the action from October 18.
Even if you aren’t particularly fussed on jumping ahead of the queue, make no mistake, the next fortnight will be chock-full of Battlefield 1 content, with DICE and EA planning to stream new gameplay footage – from both single and multiplayer modes – from tomorrow onwards. That means ardent fans ought to batten down the hatches in anticipation of a video onslaught and sure enough, we’ve included a few blistering new clips for your viewing pleasure.
Divided into various vignettes known as War Stories, the Battlefield 1 campaign has all the makings to be a rich, varied one, retelling the harrowing narrative of WWI through the lens of multiple characters. Above, you’ll find footage of us storming through the opening prologue, while below you’ll see us taking on the “Through Mud and Blood” mission.
Battlefield 1 has been slated for a global release on October 21. We Got This Covered was given the opportunity to preview the single-player component (full impressions here) a few weeks back, while you can also have a gander at our latest feature asserting that DICE’s decision to anchor the franchise’s latest entry in The Great War is a risk worth taking.
