Battlefield 1 developer working to ensure smooth launch
DICE is working hard to ensure that the launch of Battlefield 1 will go as smoothly as possible. In an interview with GamesBeat, Daniel Berlin (lead designer of Battlefield 1), has stated that the developer has been working 'for a long time' to make sure Battlefield 1's launch won't be as problematic as that of Battlefield 4.
In the interview, Berlin said that avoiding the missteps of Battlefield 4 as "a focus for [DICE]." He also stated that the upcoming beta should ensure stability further. The developer also claims to have learned a lot from Star Wars Battlefront's (successful) launch.
We know [Battlefield 4] was a difficult launch. We’ve been working on this for a long time. We released Battlefront, which did really well. We’re pushing an open beta to ensure stability. We’ve taken a lot of learnings from that experience, and we feel like we succeeded with Battlefront. We’ll take everything we learned there and apply it to Battlefield One as well.
Battlefield 1 was officially announced last week, and will launch on PC and current-gen consoles on October 21. If you can't wait that long, you can sign up for Battlefield's Insider programme to get beta access here.
