Last month, EA and DICE revealed information about They Shall Not Pass, the DLC for Battlefield 1 slated to hit in March. Today, the companies outlined plans for three additional expansions, as well as a free trial period this weekend for Xbox One and PC players.
The upcoming expansions don't have solid release dates yet, but EA and DICE detailed the basic concepts. "In the Name of the Tsar" enlists players in the Russian army surrounded by snowy terrain. "Turning Tides" is focused on naval battles, and has them participating in the first days of the Gallipoli offensive. "Apocalypse" recreates infamous WW1 battles, giving players unique weapons and tools.
For all of these (including They Shall Not Pass, which focuses on the French army), Battlefield 1 Premium Pass members will receive various perks. According to an EA press release, these benefits include "two-week early access to each expansion pack, plus 14 Superior Battlepacks, 16 new multiplayer maps, 20 new weapons to use, new elite classes, priority sever access and more."
Lastly, Xbox One and PC players can play single-player and multiplayer for free this weekend, March 3-5. Xbox Live Gold members get full access to all modes, while PC Origin players are limited to 10 hours across two multiplayer maps, and the first two War Stories in single-player.
Our Take
For titles like Battlefield 1, new multiplayer content is critical to sustaining its health over the months. Outlining a plan like this gives players something to look forward to. That's one challenge taken care of, but the more important task in front of EA and DICE is ensuring that the content they deliver is fun and engaging for the community.
