Battlefield 1 Open Beta Set To Go Live This Month

EA has announced the dates for Battlefield 1‘s open beta during Gamescom. Prepare jump into the trenches when the open beta goes live on August 31 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

To give you a taste of the destruction to come, a new Gamescom trailer was released which shows off Battlefield 1’s visceral gameplay:

There will only be one map available for the open beta, which is the Sinai Desert map. As for the game modes, players can play in two game modes during the open beta, which are:

Conquest – An all-time 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 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 here.

Battlefield 1 will launch worldwide on October 21 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The open beta will begin on August 31 while Battlefield Insider members can get early if they sign up here by August 21.
