*TOOP Portal*: Battlefield 1 Official Reveal Trailer

Later this afternoon, EA made it official: the next Battlefield is called Battlefield 1. It’ll be out on October 21 (PS4/PC/Xbox One) worldwide, and it’s set in a realistic version of World War I—despite rumors, they’re not doing any alternate history. (Unless you consider the fact that it’s a video game to be alternate history.)The game’s got tanks, biplanes, horses. Bayonets. Flamethrowers. There’s 64-person multiplayer as well as a single-player campaign. The campaign will go to Arabia, Italy, and France, among other areas. Sounds like they’re aiming for realism.

EA appears to be partnering with Microsoft for this marketing push; for the reveal event, all of the posters were plastered with “Xbox One” and they specifically announced that the game will be playable “first” on EA Access on PC and Xbox. (No date there yet.)

EA also announced an “Early Enlister Deluxe Edition,” on sale for $80, that will be out three days early, on October 18.

The character on the game’s cover appears to be a Harlem Hellfighter. I think it’s safe to assume that there won’t be any magic, despite the main character looking straight out of Doctor Strange.
