Twitter user txt231 continues to leak information aboutBattlefield 1, this time claiming the upcoming game only has six missions for its campaign mode.
Following a number of leaks, DICE and Electronic Arts have given the upcomingBattlefield 1a proper unveiling. Even so, there’s still a number of unanswered questions surrounding the game, but yet another leak may offer some answers - at least as it pertains toBattlefield 1’s single player campaign.
According to Twitter user txt231,Battlefield 1’s campaign will only consist of six missions, or “episodes,” as he called them. Since txt231 chose to refer to the single player missions inBattlefield 1as “episodes,” it could be an indication thatBattlefield Hardline’s TV show formatcould return for the new game in the series. Or at the very least, each mission will be distinct.
Txt231 didn’t stop at revealing the number of missions players can expect to play through inBattlefield 1. He took things a step further, going as far as to name each mission in the game. These are the rumored names for the single player story missions inBattlefield 1:
Six missions seems a little light, but depending on the size of each level, the length ofBattlefield 1’s campaign could be on par with previous games in the series. To that end,Battlefield 1lead designer Danny Berlin claims that the game’s single player campaign will consist of large sandboxes, similar to how the franchise’s multiplayer maps are laid out, which could make each level play like a mini open world.
Of course, txt231 could be incorrect with his info that there will be only be six story missions inBattlefield 1. After all, DICE hasn’t revealed all that much about the game’s campaign just yet, outside of the fact thatBattlefield 1will take place during World War I. So until DICE or EA confirms txt231’s report, take the information with a grain of salt.
After fans and evenStar Wars: The Force AwakensstarJohn Boyega complained aboutStar Wars Battlefront’s lack of a story mode, some DICE fans may be happy thatBattlefield 1has a single player campaign at all, regardless of its length. However, others may be worried thatBattlefield 1’s campaign isn’t large enough, and will feel like an unfulfilling experience with only six missions to its name.
Hopefully we will see more ofBattlefield 1’s campaign duringEA’s E3 2016 press conference, so we can have a better idea of the story mode’s scope, and whether or notBattlefield 1will have something of quality to offer gamers that prefer single player experiences over multiplayer mayhem.
Battlefield 1will be available on October 26th for for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
