Battlefield 1 turns to the First World War, framing its battles around a conflict shaped by new technology and worldwide fighting. Players can follow an adventure-filled single-player campaign or enter team-based multiplayer, with combat spanning locations from besieged French cities to the Italian Alps and Arabian deserts. That range gives the game a broader setting than a single trench-bound front.
Its battles combine infantry and cavalry with vehicles across land, air, and sea, including tanks, biplanes, airships, armored trains, and dreadnoughts. The environments are fully destructible, while changing weather and damage reshape the battlefield as a fight unfolds. In Operations, multiplayer battles connect across multiple maps: attackers try to break through a defense line and advance, while defenders aim to stop them. These layered objectives and shifting surroundings make teamwork central to the experience.
Battlefield 1 also offers a distinct single-player campaign, so its overall play experience is not limited to online matches. Its combination of historical setting, varied vehicles, destructible terrain, and linked Operations battles defines its particular take on large-scale World War I combat.
