Battlefield 1 Open Beta Release Date Announced

Battlefield 1 Open Beta Begins on August 31 

The Battlefield 1 Open Beta will begin on August 31 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Origin, EA and DICE announced yesterday

The Open Beta also includes two modes:

• Conquest – An all-time fan favorite of Battlefield players, Conquest is a large-scale game mode with up to 64 players fighting for the control of key objectives. With large armies on foot or behind the wheel and the addition of fearsome Behemoths, Conquest brings together all the elements of the signature Battlefield All-Out War.

• Rush – A 24-player mode where the Attacking force must find and destroy the Defending force’s Telegraph Posts, which can be used to call in artillery strikes. The Defenders can deny the Attackers their mission by disarming explosives they plant on the telegraph positions. Should the Telegraph Posts be destroyed, the Defenders must fall back to the next sector and protect the Telegraph Posts there.

Battlefield 1 is set for release Oct. 21 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, although people who pre-order the game’s $79.99 Early Enlister Deluxe Edition will be able to start playing three days early.
