After the amazing trailer of "Battlefield 1," also known as "Battlefield 5" was finally released, the rumors and the alleged leaks that Battlefield will be set in World War I was finally confirmed. "Battlefield 1" has decided to go back to its roots and had the game interestingly set back to WWI.
"Battlefield 1" is the only real first-person shooter game set in the World War I, a historical genre to this point. "Battlefield 1" is a fun game, it's realistic and made sure to give themselves the creative license to go wherever they need to go to make a battlefield-style game fit in the WWI genre.
It seems like the new setting has sparked more interest from both fans and critics as the "Battlefield 1" topped as the most liked trailer on Youtube, as reported by Forbes.
The trailer showed that the melee weapons are going to be a major aspect of "Battlefield 1" and there are also swords shown in the "Battlefield 1" trailer. Previous reports have already shared that this game will have a variety of hand weapons to suit everybody's needs.
There's also apparently gas masks and gas, although it's not yet known how in depth of a game mechanic that is actually going to be, but they are shown in the trailer and being that it's a World War I game and that gas in chemical warfare was a huge aspect of WWI, it is unimaginable not being a huge aspect of "Battlefield 1."
According to CNET, Electronic Arts called World War I “the most technologically divergent war” during a media event. And althoughBattlefieldd usually sets in the World War II, "Battlefield 1," which is the 15th installment in the franchise changes its course. "Battlefield 1" is slated to release on Oct. 21.
