How to get early acces to the BF1 Beta

As it turns out, a WW1 game was one of the best ideas we didn’t know we needed. EA and DICE upended the current trend towards fantastic and sci-fi shooters last week by announcing Battlefield 1, a trip past the series’ roots all the way back to WW1, where fighter aces will duke it out with zeppelins, where cavalry raiders charge Ottoman trains, and where players will get the chance to get down and dirty in the trenches with clubs and shovels. The crowd went wild.

With that, attention turns forward to the October 21st release date. We’re bound to have a couple of betas for the game before release, both the generate hype and allow the team to do some much-needed tweaking before launch. We don’t know much more about what we’ll be getting in the coming months, but we do know how you can get into the beta early:just go to this website and sign up as a “Battlefield:Insider,” proving your commitment to the series by agreeing to have however many press releases as they can muster sent to your inbox. In exchange, you get early access to the public beta as well as other “exclusive content.” Here’s hoping for a Mirror’s Edge themed gas mask.

Note that it specifies early access for the public beta: we can assume that there’s going to be a closed beta for pre-orders as well. It’s all pretty standard operating procedure for the industry right now, which should hopefully mitigate some of the problems that DICE ran into withBattlefield 4, now as well remembered for its catastrophic launch as for its actual gameplay. Star Wars: Battlefront launched more or less clean as a whistle, so I’m not particularly worried.

Check back for more news and thoughts on Battlefield 1 as we learn more. I’m particularly excited to hear more about the campaign: what we’ve heard so far is intriguing for sure.
