'That has really paid off for us not just in storytelling ability, but in emotional engagement.'ĭICE also mentioned that Battlefield 1's single-player campaign won't force you down any one path per se. 'We wanted the player to see and feel what the characters are going through, rather than just experiencing it from behind their eyes,' DICE said. That's where we start.'īattlefield 1 will also make use of 'classic cinematics' that show the world around your character instead of from a first-person perspective. He's a former chauffeur - a volunteer new to the war. 'Our hero is also struggling with earning the trust of his fellow crew members, so there's a social dynamic in the story, making the whole thing something personal,' DICE said. In the Through Mud and Blood chapter, you play as a young soldier, Danny Edwards, who is assigned to drive a tank but has no real experience. That way we can have immersion and variety - a double win.' 'So we decided on an anthology format a set of characters with their own more focused stories. 'We felt that to have one character hopping through those different settings wouldn't be as immersive or totally respectful to the setting,' DICE said. The best way to achieve this, DICE decided, was to let you play as multiple characters instead of just one. DICE said it wanted to lean into that and try to spotlight many different perspectives from the Great War. World War I was fought in a number of locations by people of diverse backgrounds. They're about people rather than history or battles,' the developer explained. 'While our characters are at war, the stories in Battlefield 1 are personal.

In a blog post, DICE confirmed you will play as different characters across five war stories. DICE has shared new information about Battlefield 1's campaign, which we got our first good look at earlier this week in an impressive trailer.
