With the release of Battlefield 1’s first expansion rapidly approaching, EA and DICE have taken to their official website to reveal the other three expansions included with the Premium pass.
As was earlier revealed, the first expansion, “They Shall Not Pass,” will focus on the French army. Signature weapons and vehicles from the country’s military will be added via the expansion. There will also be four added maps based on real battles, a new game mode called Frontlines, the Trench Raider Elite class and more.
While there isn’t much information available yet, at the very least, a name and a brief description of each of the following three expansions has been announced. One puts the Russian army at the center of the stage, and the other two are themed in the style of naval warfare and famous battles.
Enter the biggest front of WW1 with the Russian Army. Ride in Galicia with the legendary Hussars during the Brusilov offensive. Partake in the skirmishes of the Albion assault in a freezing archipelago and fight in the snow covered ravines of the treacherous Lupkow Pass.
Participate in the amphibious warfare of WW1. Embark with the new destroyer into intense tactical naval clashes. Master the coastal class airship in the fierce interplay between land, air and sea. Engage in the daredevil Zeebrugge raid and storm the beaches in the first days of the Gallipoli offensive.
Go over the top in the most infamous battles of WW1. Conquer bitterly contested ground with brutal tools and unique weapons born out of desperation and deadlock. Never before have the nightmarish horrors of the Great War been closer as you descend into hell. Prepare to enter the Apocalypse.
No further details have been released regarding the expansions, other than that they will include the usual two-week early access for Premium members. As for “They Shall Not Pass,” it’s supposed to be coming out in March but doesn’t have a definite date yet. Players are suspecting it will be a March 7th release for Premium members followed by a March 21st release date for everyone else. As is always the case with rumors, take that one with a grain of salt until DICE announces anything official.
