Battlefield 1 - They Shall Not Pass Announced

The first expansion to DICE's Battlefield 1 has been named as 'They Shall Not Pass', and it will be releasing this March. It introduces the French army and new maps.

Some of the expansion's content has become available on the Community Test Environment server which has revealed four new maps - Fort De Vaux, Verdun Heights, Soissons, and Rupture - and also revealed the existence of the hulking French Char 2C tank.

New weapons are included in the first major DLC such as the medium ranged Lebel bolt action rifle. Footage has begun to emerge of They Shall Not Pass from the test server now that EA has lifted the embargo. Sorry, there's no universe crossover with Middle-Earth despite the name. Maybe an Easter Egg?

Thus far EA haven't nailed down the expansion to a date in March but those who own the Battlefield 1 Premium Pass will get to experience it two weeks before everyone else does. Hopefully the March date isn't referring to the Premium earlier access but the official launch.

Battlefield 1 - They Shall Not Pass releases on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in March 2017.
