In other news, "Battlefield 1" is slated to release its first paid expansion by March, titled "They Shall Not Pass," a French-themed expansion that reportedly contains four new maps, namely, Verdun Heights, Fort Vaux, Soissons, and Rupture.
This upcoming expansion also adds more weapons and most importantly, a French army with soldiers wearing a blue uniform. It also contains a new mode called "Frontline," which is said to be a combination of Conquest and Rush.
"They Shall Not Pass" also adds more vehicles to the game - the Char 2C tank, which is based on a real-life tank, and the St. Chamond.
A new Elite Trench Raider is also added to the game as a melee-focused class. They will reportedly have access to an "impressive grenade arsenal."
This is also expected to be the first expansion that Premium Pass purchasers will receive.
