Game makers aren't known for taking risky leaps when it comes to branding, so it's a surprise to see EA taking a leap with one of its most celebrated series. It's the fifth main Battlefield game, but it's set during the first global conflict of the modern age. So Battlefield 1 is meant to harken back to those glory days. And its commitment to historical accuracy built upon the popular WWII shooters of that era.

Here's what we know so far: The title is for realД«attlefield 1942 established the franchiseвЂ™s interest in expansive, real-world conflicts. With a confusing name and surprise setting that certainly shakes up the relatively conservative FPS genre, Battlefield 1 marks a shift in direction for the popular franchise.

EA, on the other hand, is turning back the clock on Battlefield. Battlefield's main competitor, Activision's Call of Duty franchise, keeps marching onward into the future by augmenting soldiers with nanotechnology andВ powered exoskeletons in settings that have more in common with the Halo universe than a history textbook. It's an interesting twist to say the least. Occurring before EA's Battlefield 1942, which came out in 2002, this new entry is theВ earliest wartime game in the shooter series. Battlefield 1, which publisher Electronic Arts unveiled today on a global Twitch stream, is set during World War I.
