A taste of Battlefield 1 content is now available on Xbox One and Windows PC through EA Access, including two of the six single-player War Stories.
We recorded the short prologue chapter, “Storm of Steel”, to give you a taste of the single-player content. It took us less than 15 minutes played on normal difficulty, and sets a dark tone true to the realities of War World I for many of its combatants — you’re not meant to survive the prologue. You play as several soldiers, each given a name with a date of birth, and most of them die in the harsh reality of the dawn of modern warfare.
The EA Access First Play Trial also includes the tank-based “Through Mud and Blood” War Story, which takes about an hour to complete. While Storm of Steel has to be completed first, the five full-length War Story chapters can then be played in any order. They’re independent to each other — it’s not one linear campaign — featuring different protagonists and varied tones. Some are dark, others are serious, and one is fairly light-hearted…considering the circumstances.
