With the biggest FPS series' moving further and further into futuristic, speculative territory in the past few years, many fans have been crying out for a return to the historical settings that were once commonplace in the genre. Few could have predicted just what this would yield, however.
Battlefield 1 is EA Dice's answer to these pleas, and it's proved to be an unprecedented one. Rather than opt for WW2 like so many expected, the studio are instead taking a further step back and setting their next game in the middle of the first World War. Early signs are that this is a popular move with fans, and Battlefield 1 is now one of the most anticipated games of 2016.
Despite its senior producer having initial reservations about the early WW1 pitches he heard, the tenacity and passion of the idea's creators won over after a few rewrites and reimaginings. Battlefield 1 will be the combined fruit of passionate developers and ardent fans coming together to reshape a stagnant series: look what we can achieve when we all get along!
