Days Gone, an upcoming post-apocalyptic game, has been announced for PS4. Zombies are coming for us – many zombies.
A highlight from Sony’s press conference at E3 2016 was “Days Gone”. This title takes place in a zombie-infested post-apocalypse and is being developed by Bend Studio. You may remember this studio from “Uncharted: Golden Abyss”.
Here are the reveal trailer and gameplay trailer for E3 of Days Gone
Early in the livestream, the reveal trailer for Days Gone was presented:

It is still not necessarily clear that this will be a brutal zombie survival game. The trailer sets the mood for this post-apocalypse and looks back on days gone by, when the protagonist was still united with his wife/girlfriend. Those days are gone – “(Those) Days (are) Gone”.
The following trailer, on the other hand, shows fast-paced gameplay: The protagonist must prove himself against a horde of zombies – zombies that can run very fast and apparently like to move in large groups:

In The Division, information about the next expansion 1.3 “Underground” is scarce. However, there is still an event coming up during E3. Additionally, this is the Strategic Weekly Assignment on June 14.
It is indeed strange: During the yesterday’s press conferences at E3, Microsoft initially revealed a short trailer for “Underground,” which contained hardly any information. Later, Ubisoft released a top trailer for the upcoming update “Survival” and provided information indicating that the game would completely change with it.
We now basically know more about the distant future of The Division than about the near future. Because in just two weeks, expansion 1.3 is coming. We will link the previous information from E3 about the future of The Division at the end of this article.
When will more information about update 1.3 “Underground” in The Division come?
“Underground” will be released on June 28 for Xbox One and PC. PS4 agents will have to wait until August 2, as Microsoft and Ubisoft have struck a time-exclusive deal.
With Underground, the name says it all: The Division agents must descend into the tunnel networks beneath New York and stop the enemies before they gain control over the city from there.
The expansion will bring, in addition to new high-end gear, the following features according to the trailer:
Randomly generated missions
“Deadly Urban Dungeons”
Each encounter and battle in the Underground is said to be different. After each run, the rewards increase. The motto of “Underground” is: The Fight never ends.
No more information is currently known. However, this should change tomorrow morning around 5 AM our time. Then Ubisoft will hold a “Special Ops Event” during E3, where representatives from “Rainbow 6 Siege”, “Ghost Recon: Wildlands” and “The Division” will be on stage together.
As Massive informs via Twitter: At this event, there will be more information about “Underground”. We will report on it promptly, so that you are provided with reading material for breakfast tomorrow.

This is the Strategic Weekly Assignment starting June 14 in The Division
We can already report about a new weekly assignment that has been live since today. If you complete the following four tasks in the next 7 days, you will receive 30 Phoenix Credits as a reward:
Eliminate 20 elite enemies: You need to enter the Dark Zone and kill elite enemies.
Collect 30 weapon parts
Eliminate 50 Cleaners
Complete 10 missions: Complete 10 main missions on “Hard” or “Challenging”.
These are the information about the future of The Division from the E3 livestreams:
God of War has always been one of the flagship series for Sony’s PlayStation – and now it returns to its roots.
God of War 4, which will be released under the simple name “God of War”, represents a reboot of the series. However, not in terms of the story, as it takes place after the third part. Olympus is destroyed and anti-hero Kratos struggles with his uncontrollable rage. In the trailer shown by Sony during the E3 press conference, one gets a glimpse of an aged Kratos.
This is God of War!
He goes hunting with his son, as it is time for the boy to become a man. You take on the role of Kratos and follow the boy into the forest, where he is to hunt game. You follow the tracks and eventually discover a deer, but it escapes. After a confrontation with demons and a mighty beast, the deer is finally brought down and Kratos prepares his son for the future.
The trailer shows what a new God of War looks like on the PlayStation 4. A huge, open world and combat that seems to overshadow even the conflicts from the predecessors. The battle against the boss monster is spectacular and film-like in its presentation. There isn’t much information about the game yet. However, Sony plans to reveal more over the coming months. But what has been seen so far definitely makes one eager for more. All fans of the “God of War” series can expect an action spectacle.
How exactly God of War is to be understood as a reboot, will probably be revealed in due course. At least for Kratos, the new adventure represents a kind of new beginning. A release date has not yet been set, but the game will be released exclusively for Sony’s PlayStation 4.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, the weekly reset takes place today, June 14th. What needs to be done this week?
Anyone who stayed up last night just to catch live news on “The Rise of Iron” at Sony’s press conference was bitterly disappointed: Footage of Destiny’s fall expansion was shown for just a few seconds. Bungie did announce that they would be present at E3, but apparently not as part of a large press conference.
Now let’s get to the shooter content that awaits you this week. After all, responsible Guardians need to regularly attend to the darkness – and prepare for the upcoming adventures.

The next installment of the “Final Fantasy” series, Part 15, will get its own movie released shortly before the game.
SciFi meets Fantasy in the “Kingsglaive” film
In secret, SquareEnix has produced a new film that will be released almost concurrently with the next installment of the series, Final Fantasy XV, in some selected theaters in America. The animated film is titled “Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy 15” and features some prominent actors. Two faces (and/or voices) may be familiar to fans from Game of Thrones, as Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister) will voice Princess Luna and Sean Bean (Eddard Stark) lends his voice to King Regis. The entire film was shot using motion capture technology – therefore everything on screen is animated.

Fans are already joking in the comments that SquareEnix has spoiled an important part of the plot by giving Jean Bean a role – because he is known to die in almost every role.
A lot is already known about the film’s plot. The magical kingdom of Lucis possesses a powerful crystal that grants the land its power. The “Empire of Niflheim” wants to seize that power. King Regis of Lucis commands an elite force known as the Kingsglaive, which uses the magical power of the crystal to defend the land. However, the Empire is undeterred and captures the King’s son, who is to be married to another princess, Lunafreya from the neighboring kingdom of Tenebrae.
To what extent the film spoils events from Final Fantasy XV or even provides necessary knowledge to fully understand the game is still unclear.
In the past, Square Enix, then still known as Squaresoft, created various films. The standalone film “Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within” was a milestone in animation but received mixed reviews otherwise. “Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children” focused on the beloved 7th installment of the series and continued the story of Cloud and Sephiroth.
Final Fantasy 15 is set to be released on September 30, 2016, while the film “Kingsglaive” is scheduled to premiere in selected theaters on August 19 and will be available on DVD and BluRay in the fall.

Some scenes in Overwatch are truly memorable. Check out the “WTF Moments” here.
When Torbjörn “repairs” the wrong turret
Overwatch is also a great success because there are incredibly amusing moments that make you laugh heartily or applaud in amazement. These moments, known as “WTF Moments,” are compiled by the YouTube channel Overwatch Highlights. In episode 3, particularly interesting scenes can be seen, which is why we don’t want to withhold them from you.

In the first clip, Reaper’s emote becomes his downfall. During the preparation time, players cannot actually attack each other, which Roadhog immediately takes advantage of to position himself in front of the enemy’s room and greet them with a “Hello” emote. The enemy Reaper responds with a threatening gesture – while his character leans forward, thus clipping through the wall. Roadhog doesn’t waste any time and gets the first kill – even before the round starts.
In the second scene, we see Torbjörn throwing his molten core. Unlike in countless other Play of the Game moments, it is not his turret that gets all the kills here, but the little Swede himself – and in close combat. He even coldly hammers down a Bastion and does not stop before Reinhardt and McCree. Both teams reward this with a “legendary” status.
If you fall into a pit, you are usually dead. However, Lucio does not want to simply accept his fate after a hefty shove and bravely fights his way out of the deadly trap – before falling again. And again. And once more.
What actually happens if you place Symmetra’s teleporter right in front of an abyss? It’s pretty logical: the team takes the direct shortcut from their spawn area… exactly back into it.
What kind of “WTF moments” have you experienced in the game?

To complete the missions, not only helicopters or motorcycles are available, but also buggies equipped with mini-guns. In cooperative mode, you can coordinate important strategic steps with your teammates and thereby surprise the enemies by attacking from different angles simultaneously. Earlier, you can use a reconnaissance mode to scout the area in front of you and mark enemy targets for your teammates.
With the help of drones and suppressed pistols, you can stealthily approach the various objectives without making noise and drawing attention to yourself. On March 7, 2017, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands will be released for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 and will cost (if pre-ordered) in the standard version €59.99 for PC and €69.99 for consoles.
To give you a better idea of the cooperative mode and the missions, here is a gameplay walkthrough of one of the missions. Here you can see not only how to stealthily progress through the missions, but also what happens when it gets noisy.

The focus is on the Viking campaign: The video first shows the arrival of these warriors. Then we experience the battle from the third-person perspective of a Viking: He carves a path through the enemy hordes with his weapon. Occasionally, he must prove himself in duels against stronger foes: Here, one can see “The Art of Battle”: The unique combat system with which Ubisoft advertises this melee game. At the end of the trailer, a big boss awaits the warrior.
For Honor will be released on February 14, 2017, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. By the way, that’s Valentine’s Day.
“Death Stranding” is the new project by game designer Hideo Kojima and “The Walking Dead” star Norman Reedus.
At Sony’s press conference at E3 2016, Hideo Kojima’s appearance caused a great sensation: With a spectacular trailer, the legendary game designer presented “Death Stranding” – a game in which Norman Reedus will play a significant role. This will be Kojima’s first game after leaving Konami.
This is the E3 trailer for “Death Stranding”
Here you can watch the reveal trailer for “Death Stranding.” But beware: During the press conference, it sparked storms of excitement:

The footage shows a naked, crying Norman Reedus holding a newborn baby to his chest. However, the baby does not appear human, suddenly disappears, and splatters the hands and legs of the “The Walking Dead” star with a black, ink-like substance. As the camera captures the landscape, several figures can be seen floating in the air along with many dead fish and whales. What the game is about – currently only speculation can be made. But already the hype train is in full swing.
After Konami’s canceled horror game project “Silent Hills,” in which Reedus worked with Kojima and Guillermo del Toro, it was long uncertain whether and in what form a new project would emerge. Many fans were disappointed, as they had high hopes for this game.
However, a few months ago, Kojima tweeted a picture of himself and Reedus with the caption: Reunion with Norman Reedus.

It is also expected that Naughty Dog will make an appearance and possibly announce a sequel to The Last of Us. While we won’t see anything about a PS4K, PlayStation VR should be in the spotlight.
In The Division, there are already some first info and a trailer for the “Survival” update. PS4 agents need to be patient with update 1.3 “Underground”.
So far, there is little information about the next update called Underground; but already there is a big trailer for the “Survival” update, which will be released this summer. This was presented at the Ubisoft press conference during E3.

With the Survival update, the gaming experience in The Division is supposed to change completely: The climatic conditions are getting harsher: Blizzards plague the post-apocalyptic New York. Food is scarce, temperatures have drastically fallen – the storm has destroyed most of it.
In this scenario, we are not the only survivors: Some enemies have set their sights on us. It will be decided who will survive in the end.
Apparently, The Division is evolving into a hardcore survival game, where we constantly have to fight for our survival. We are curious. Will Ubisoft’s MMO shooter take a completely different direction this summer than we are used to?
This update is expected to be delivered quickly. It was announced with “Coming soon”.
Info on “Underground” in The Division
In “Underground”, you team up with your friends against a dangerous threat lurking in the tunnels under the city. Each time we play Underground, the gaming experience changes – a new threat emerges. After each “run”, the rewards are said to get better.
For Xbox One and PC, the Underground expansion releases on June 28. PS4 agents will have to wait longer: the update will be available here on August 2.
By the way: With the release of Underground, all agents with a “Ubisoft Club” account will receive three free outfits. These are various looks from the “Tom Clancy” series.

Microsoft unexpectedly presented the planned new console codenamed “Scorpio” at the E3 press conference today. There was also the official confirmation of the Xbox One Slim. Read here all the known information about the consoles.
After images of the Xbox One Slim had already been posted on Neogaf yesterday, Microsoft surprised with a stronger console, which only carries the codename “Scorpio” during the press conference at the E3 2016. The new wonder console is said to have impressive features, be released in 2017, and have the following specifications:
6 teraflops of performance (the Xbox One has only 1.3!), equivalent to the power of a Geforce GTX 1070
Memory bandwidth of 320GB/second
Processor with eight computing cores
4K support (games and movies)
Interface for virtual reality (VR)
Full backward and forward compatibility with Xbox One and Slim
Scorpio will thus become the new flagship of Microsoft consoles, but until it is released, console fans can enjoy the Xbox One Slim, which was also presented at the press conference. This version of the Xbox is likely to be available as early as August 2016, and the price is expected to start at 300 US dollars for the version with the 500 GB hard drive.
The editions with 1,000 and 2,000 GB cost 349 and 399 US dollars, respectively. The new, redesigned controller is included in the package and costs separately 59.99 US dollars. In terms of size, the Slim is about 40 percent smaller than a regular Xbox One. Additionally, the Slim – codenamed “Edmonton” – offers the following features:
500, 1,000 or 2,000 gigabytes of storage
4K video support
Built-in power supply
Can be placed horizontally and – using an optional stand for 19.99 US dollars – vertically
Content partners are Amazon Prime Video and Netflix
HDR support for better graphics, especially contrasts
No more Kinect port, Kinect must be connected via adapter through the USB port. Customers who already have an Xbox One with Kinect receive the adapter for free.
New, grippy controller with double wireless range and Bluetooth support for Windows 10.

In our guide, we explain how you can be a useful addition to any team with Symmetra from Overwatch .
Satya “Symmetra” Vaswani – Perfection through Order
We continue our series of Overwatch guides and take a closer look at the Indian Satya Vaswani, better known as Symmetra. In the game, she is a support character but unlike all other supporters, she cannot heal her team. How she is still an important addition and can lead to victory is what we reveal here.
Recommended editorial content

Read more about our privacy policy.
Symmetra has 200 hit points (100 health, 100 shield). The shield automatically regenerates after a few seconds if she does not take damage.
The Photon Shield grants the targeted teammate a shield of 25 points.
The Photon Projector deals 24 damage per second. The longer the weapon hits the same target, the more damage increases. The maximum is 120 damage per second.
In the alternate mode (right-click), Symmetra charges a slow projectile. This deals between 25 and 125 damage depending on the charge time.
The turrets deal 25 damage per second and slow the hit enemies. A maximum of 6 turrets can be active at the same time.
Her ultimate Teleporter is automatically destroyed after the 6th use.
Symmetra – Only Useful in Defense?
Most players consider Symmetra only worthwhile when used in defense. While some mechanics, like the turrets, do function better at protecting objectives, Symmetra can also be a real boost in attack. On control maps where points must be taken and held, the turrets and the teleporter can prove to be an invaluable advantage. However, if unsure, it’s best to practice with Symmetra only in defense at first. Regardless, someone on the team will complain that you should play a “real supporter” – don’t let that discourage you.
Photon Shield – “That’s just 25 health points!”
Many players underestimate the usefulness of the Photon Shield. 25 additional hit points may not seem like much at first, but most people forget that these 25 health points constantly regenerate on their own. So if you’re in multiple firefights and considering your actions, you benefit from the shield repeatedly. Thus, the statement that Symmetra can’t heal is not entirely correct, as her shield automatically regenerates, regardless of line of sight or proximity to the boosted ally.
Those who die also lose their shield. When an ally returns from the spawn, give them a new shield immediately!
Especially Zenyatta and Tracer benefit in fights against Widowmaker from the shield. They then have 175 health points and cannot die from a single fully charged body shot from Widowmaker (which deals 150 damage).
Turrets – Where and How to Place?
Using Symmetra’s turrets correctly is not as easy as it seems. New players often spread the turrets all over the map where they barely fulfill a purpose or can be spotted from 50 meters away. The greatest use from the turrets is obtained when they are placed so that enemies can only see them once they are already firing. Suitable locations for this are usually the door frames of a room (from the inside!) or the corners of a room. Make sure that the turrets are not all clustered together, but are somewhat spread out at their respective location. Nothing is more frustrating than having all 6 turrets destroyed with just one shot – as the turrets each only have 1 hit point.
With all 6 turrets in one place, you can deal 150 damage per second – characters like Tracer or Zenyatta melt under the fire.
Experiment! Often you can hide the turrets in bushes or behind other map objects so that enemies notice late where they have been placed.
The turrets also act as early warning signals! A single turret at a side corridor informs you when an enemy approaches – sometimes this information is more valuable than another turret in a spot where it does actual damage.
Photon Projector – One of the Deadliest Weapons in the Game
Symmetra’s weapon is often underestimated because it initially deals little damage. However, when the Photon Projector is active on a target for several seconds, the damage increases from 24 per second to a devastating 120 per second. Since this “charging” is not lost immediately, you can occasionally take out multiple enemies in a row. You can charge the beam on a Reinhardt and then switch to other characters who are more fragile. As the weapon is homing, you don’t even have to aim precisely and can focus entirely on dodging.
The power of the alternate fire should also not be underestimated. A fully charged projectile deals 125 damage – to all targets it passes through. Is the enemy team hiding behind a Reinhardt? The projectile penetrates the shield and damages anyone hiding behind it. This is especially devastating if you can attack from behind the enemy.
To “charge” the alternate fire, take cover. Only expose yourself when you are ready to fire the projectile.
By quickly right-clicking, you can also fire many “small” projectiles that deal less damage but are much more visible to the enemy – many enemies then hesitate to cross an area being perforated by Symmetra’s projectiles.
The Teleporter – A Tough Decision
The biggest benefit to the team comes from the Teleporter, Symmetra’s ultimate. Symmetra places the Teleporter so that allies can come “in her line of sight” through the portal when they enter the counterpart in the spawn area. Whether attacking or defending, with a portal you can quickly return to the scene of the action. However, finding the right position for a portal is difficult – generally, you should always place it “out of sight”, i.e. around corners or on elevations that can only be viewed from your side of the match.
The moment you place a Teleporter, the enemy team receives a warning about it. Therefore, after placing the Teleporter, you should remain unseen in cover for a few seconds, as if you are seen immediately after this warning, the enemy can quickly guess where your Teleporter is located.
The portal has a total of 6 charges, which you can view at any time at the bottom of the screen.
While your portal is active, you cannot generate any further charge for your ultimate ability.
To conclude, here are some general tips for Symmetra:
At the beginning of a round, be particularly defensive. Only after your Teleporter is placed can you be a bit bolder. Until that point, you should primarily shoot from a distance with the alternate fire mode to avoid the greatest dangers and to gather charge for your ultimate.
Even if it’s annoying: Jump in close combat! Symmetra’s slim silhouette makes it hard to kill her with precise shots up close. Jump and run around your opponent while roasting them with the Photon Projector. Even characters like Reaper or Roadhog often struggle to take down a wildly jumping Symmetra.
Hurry up if you are on the defender team! The sooner you reach the objective, the more turrets you can place. Those who dawdle or wait in the spawn room will have a disadvantage later.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew was recently announced during E3. It is a VR simulator where we take on typical tasks on the bridge of a Star Trek ship via VR headset.
The cat is out of the bag! Ubisoft had already announced two new, previously unknown VR games before the E3 2016, and one of them is Star Trek: Bridge Crew! In this VR game, which requires a corresponding device like an Oculus Rift, a HTC Vive, or a Playstation VR, up to four players can take on the roles of the bridge officers of a Federation starship.
One player is the Captain, and the other three must scramble for the positions of Tactical Officer, Navigator, or Chief Engineer. The game then generates missions that, although procedurally created, still follow a story. The setting of the game is always the Federation ship “USS Aegis,” which is supposed to resemble the USS Enterprise (from the J.J. Abrams remake) by 90%.
Kirk or Picard?
“At first, it might seem like you’re just pressing buttons and that it could be really boring,” said David Votypka, the Senior Creative Director at the developer Red Storm. “However, the buttons actually do something, and that makes it cool again. You are on a Federation ship, firing torpedoes, raising shields, and declaring a red alert. It is an exhilarating sensation, especially when you play it with your friends in VR!” Collaboration is particularly important, as only when the Navigator organizes a targeting solution for the Tactical Officer can they fire their phasers and torpedoes. Only through good teamwork can you succeed.
The Star Trek actors LeVar Burton (Geordi La Forge from The Next Generation), Karl Urban (Dr. McCoy from the remake), and Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine from Voyager) during a round of Star Trek: Bridge Crew.
“It’s up to you whether you choose the ‘Kirk approach’ or follow a more methodical one,” Votypka said. Thus, captains often have to make tough decisions, for example, whether to try to save an entire colony or just the essential Vulcan scientists there.
What do you think of the idea of commanding a virtual starship bridge? Boring or the absolute dream of every Star Trek fan?

Mass Effect: Andromeda has received a new trailer at E3. Why it is upsetting some, you can find out here.
Graphical Splendor, But Little Gameplay in the “Mass Effect: Andromeda” Trailer
Only a handful of RPGs have managed to work their way into the hearts of fans like the Mass Effect trilogy. Even though the story surrounding Commander Shepard, the Reapers, and the fate of the galaxy is actually concluded, the universe of the game world still offers numerous stories and narratives.
That is exactly why “Mass Effect: Andromeda” also takes place many years after the story of the original trilogy and places players more in the role of an explorer than the “great chosen one” who must save the entire galaxy from destruction. A first impression of what at least the graphics of the game can deliver is shown in the new trailer from E3.

Many fans were quite disappointed with the new trailer, as there are hardly any fresh gameplay scenes to see. For some, this is “proof” that the development of the title is not going well and that the release date probably cannot be met. However, BioWare does not care much about such concerns and announces on Twitter: “You can judge the game once it is released. It’s that simple.”
According to current plans, Mass Effect: Andromeda is set to release in the first quarter of 2017. So it will still take about 9 months until we can once again fight with Krogan, fall in love with Asari, and have deep discussions about life with Hanar.
Mein-MMO believes: BioWare finds itself in a difficult position after Mass Effect 3, as the original trilogy is considered by many to be the “best RPG series of all time” – so the bar is high for a new title in the same universe. Will the developers succeed in igniting the “old fire” of the game series once again? But as long as there are Asari, not everything can go wrong…

In Battlefield 1, you have the choice between four different classes that are on foot, as well as two “vehicle/airplane” classes that move around the map using vehicles.
The 4 infantry classes:
Assault Soldier– If you choose the Assault Soldier class, you can prepare to take out vehicles and engage in close combat. You have explosive charges with which you can destroy vehicles and planes, and you have a significant advantage in close combat over other classes.
Support Soldier – This unit is responsible for supplying teammates with ammunition and keeping the enemy at bay: With the various gadgets of the Support Soldier, you can not only ensure ammunition supply – its weapon also helps with a high rate of fire to make sure the enemy does not move and is designed for short to medium ranges.
Medic– You know this scene from Battlefield: Wounded teammates calling for the MEDIC. The special feature in Battlefield 1 is that the Medic can not only keep soldiers alive but is also capable of repairing vehicles. They also carry a weapon that is well suited for medium ranges – so once all allies are medically supplied, you can give the opposing Medics some work.
Scout – Now we come to the sniper class. Your job as a Scout is to stealthily reconnoiter or take out enemies. A powerful sniper rifle helps you with this mission. From a great distance, you can use your gadgets to reconnoiter enemies and inform your team about the enemy’s position.
In the Vehicle:
As a pilot or tank driver, you can put serious pressure on the enemy. Especially here: These vehicle classes are necessary to operate vehicles. So you do not play a Support Soldier who has gotten into a plane or a tank, but the specific class of Pilot or Tank Driver. The vehicle effectively becomes your class’s “primary weapon”.
As reported in a Q&A on the official website, the developers have also worked hard to ensure that the classes can be visually distinguished better. They still fit into the historical background of the game, but it should be recognizable when an Assault Soldier is running towards you and when it’s a Medic. By the way, you can recognize the Medic by the crutches on their back.
A brand new multiplayer mode in Battlefield 1 is waiting for you!
Three of the upcoming multiplayer modes are already known. These include the already familiar Conquest and Domination, but also a completely new mode called Operations. In the Operations mode, multiple battles are linked together. In these battles, the attacking team tries to gain ground and push the front line forward. The defending team tries to prevent exactly that progress.
Operations: The special feature of this mode is that as a defending team, you do not lose directly if you fail to hold the position during a battle. If the defenders fail to hold the position, they retreat and reform on the next map – the attackers then try to attack there again. Sectors can fall in this mode, but by demanding strong Behemoths, you might be able to turn the tide.
Conquest: In the Conquest mode, almost everything remains as players already know it. With up to 64 players, whether on foot or in vehicles, the struggle is over the control of important objectives. Of course, newly introduced units and vehicles, which you have already seen in the gameplay trailer, are a part of this.
Domination: The Domination modestands for fast infantry battles on tight maps. It is like a smaller version of the Conquest mode and has strategic mission objectives. Here, you also have to capture flags, but it takes significantly less time than in the Conquest mode.
The new gameplay with maps, tanks, and planes can be seen in our article about Battlefield 1 Multiplayer.
