During the quarterly meeting with its shareholders and analysts, Electronic Arts explained the reason for the choice to set the new Battlefield 1 in World War I. The reason for this choice is that the development team felt that historical period the best setting to create "the Battlefield more varied game ever".

In particular, the software house explained that:

"When we decided to create a new version of Battlefield, wanted to do a lot of things with the game. We wanted that was the greatest game ever, the Battlefield more varied than ever. We wanted to fundamentally new gameplay mechanics that evolve with history, stories of characters who they interweaved, evolution of machinery, the evolution of arms, a real opportunity to grow and experience within the world of Battlefield.

When we decided to take a step back and ask ourselves what the best setting to create a game that had that kind of features and ambition, we felt we had the first world war the best setting to achieve that kind of game. "

The company then added:

"We believe the level of innovation and evolution of battle offered by a limited period of time, as it is the first world war, will give us an extraordinary opportunity to create an epic gaming experience on a large scale."
