EA and DICE have revealed the four expansion packs that will be coming to Battlefield 1 over the next year. The first is one that has already been heavily detailed with the They Shall Not Pass DLC which will add the French Army to the game. The second expansion is named in The Name Of The Tsar which puts players on the Russian front of World War One, with players here reliving the Brusila offensive riding alongside Hussars. There are also skirmishes in the freezing conditions on an archipelago in Albion, and the snowy ravines will of Lupkow Pass will serve as a different kind of warzone.
The third expansion will be Turning Tides and here players will be getting a taste of amphibious warfare as you can use destroyers to engage in naval battles, and there’s also the coastal airship as war rages between land, sea and air. The final expansion is simple titled Apocalypse and is focused on the most intense and brutal battles of the war, and while none are named in the press release it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Somme represented.
All of these expansions will be part of the Expansion Pass, though they’ll likely be on sale individually too. In total there will be 16 new maps and over 20 new weapons introduced through the expansions. Premium Pass members will get two week early access for each pack too.
