A community manager for Battlefield has updated the situation on when we can expect there to be an open beta for the latest Battlefield game, Battlefield 1.
During a livestream interview through Reddit, community manager Sebastian Moritz hinted that the open beta time was set to kick off sometime "shortly after" this year's Gamescom even, which will run from August 17th to August 21st. This puts the beta launching somewhere in the later part of August, probably during the last week or maybe even during the first week of September. No dates were confirmed but given that Gamescom is going to happen before the beta it's possible they might announce some during that event.
When it does arrive Battlefield Insiders will be getting their access three days earlier to hit the ground running, as well as being offered some "in-game rewards, exclusive content and sneak peeks at news about Battlefield", probably before its released publicly.
Among other things confirmed during that livestream interview was the inclusion of a Rush mode, among other things. Check the Reddit topic for more information and a link to the Twitch channel containing the interview.
