UPDATE: We've added all of the campaign clips posted separately into this post for easy access - thus the "re-post". Enjoy.

Battlefield 1 developer DICE has spent the past few hours revealing more and more details about the single-player campaign of the game.

Starting off with the drama-filled reveal trailer, before confirming the new anthology structure of the campaign - a first for the series.

Now, the developer has published the full synopsis of five of the game's campaign missions. It's unclear at this stage how many missions are going to feature in the campaign, but there's at least one mission available in the EA/Origin Access trial that's not mentioned here, so we can only assume this is just the first patch.

You can read the official details of each one below:

Friends in High Places
