A few days ago, DICE and Electronic Arts put out a teaser indicating a reveal this week for Battlefield 1’s They Shall Not Pass, which is the first of four paid expansion packs for the game. DICE and Electronic Arts have provided an outline of the Battlefield 1′ DLC‘s new maps, weapons, items, modes, and more.
As indicated by a post on the game’s website, They Shall Not Pass is set to offer up four maps in total. With the DLC set during the Battle of Verdun, DICE and Electronic Arts have revealed that the areas and environments included in the post-launch content package will be Verdun Heights, Fort Vaux, Soissons, and Rupture.
The detailing of the first paid expansion pack confirms the addition of the French army, as well as a new game mode called Frontlines. According to the publisher and developer, the fresh mode is going to be something of a mix between Conquest and Rush with the official description reading,
“Both teams fight for one flag at a time and when this objective is captured the action moves on to the next. Capture the enemy’s HQ control point and the game turns into a Rush-style section where telegraph posts need to be attacked or defended.”
This DLC will also incorporate the new Char 2C tank, which in inspired by an actual tank used in the Great Watr, and it is a fresh piece of behemoth-class transportation that can be used to, “turn the tide of the entire battle.” A tank called the St. Charmond will be added as well.
A new Elite class called Trench Raiders is available, which will be a melee-focused class that uses a “Raider Club” and has access to an “impressive grenade arsenal.” Developers are incorporating a brand new stationary field gun, the Siege Howitzer, into the add-on, and it can be fired by an infantry player.
DICE and Electronic Arts have not yet announced an official release date other than it coming out sometime in March.
