Battlefield 1 vs. Infinite Warfare: 10 Things to Know

This early Battlefield 1 vs Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare comparison looks at some of the key differences (and similarities) between the two games as we push toward EA Play and E3 2016.

In May, Activision and Infinity Ward confirmed the next installment in the long-running Call of Duty franchise. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare follows in the footsteps of Black Ops 3 and takes gamers to a new setting this fall.

A few days later, EA DICE took the stage and announced a new entry into its well-known Battlefield series. Battlefield 1, like Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, will be released in countries around the world later this year.

These games are official but the developers remain mum about many of the specifics. That said, we still have enough to make an early comparison between the two games that will almost certainly be two of 2016’s best-selling titles.

This Battlefield 1 versus Infinite Warfare comparison lays out the most important things we know about the two games.

It outlines what you need to know about the release dates, some key dates that you should have circled on the calendar, gameplay differences, betas, and some of the other basics you should know ahead of their release.

We’ll continue to update this with new information as EA DICE and Activision/Infinity Ward make them available to us.
