The official Twitch Battlefield stream is four hours away from announcing the game next in the first-person shooter franchise, at the time of publish. But it appears that game’s title and promotional image have already leaked.
Battlefield 1 is set in World War I, but still has a bald hero
Polygon reports that the Battlefield promotional image, above, appeared this morning in an Xbox Live advertisement. A similar leak for Call of Duty happened earlier this month on the PlayStation Store.
The name Battlefield 1 first appeared in a leak at Reddit. Rumors of a Battlefield set in World War I have been bubbling since February. The leaked promotional art aligns with speculation, with what appears to be a zeppelin floating behind a soldier carrying an old-fashioned pistol and spiked club.
Correction: The headline originally described Battlefield 1 as a first-person shooter set in an alternate history version of World War 1. It’s unclear if the game will actually be set in a normal version of the war or an alternate history version. We should know more in an hour at the game’s official announcement.
