Battlefield 1 trailer released, public beta starts on August 31

EA just released the official trailer for its upcoming game, Battlefield 1. The game is set to launch for the Xbox One and PC on October 21st — however, the company will start an open beta later this month. Additionally, if you are a Battlefield Insider, you will get early access to the beta on August 21st. In the meantime, you can watch the trailer below:

EA says the open beta for the game will include the Sinia Desert map, but the public release should include a couple of other maps. The company also announced that the game will come with two of the following 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.
