Battlefield 1: They Shall Not Pass

Electronic Arts announced that Battlefield 1’s first expansion, They Shall Not Pass, is set to launch on March 14th (for those who purchase a premium pass). EA also released a nice cinematic trailer to go with it.

Those who don’t purchase the premium pass will have to wait until March 28th to pickup the DLC. Three more expansions are coming to Battlefield 1: In the Name of the Tsar, Turning Tides, and Apocalypse. All three expansions will be available to those who purchased the premium pass at no extra charge. The release dates haven’t been announced yet.

About They Shall Not Pass

NEW MAP: VERDUN HEIGHTS

The opening barrage of the Battle of Verdun created massive forest fires in which players will fight for domination. This is an uphill battle towards the massive fortresses of Verdun. A constant grinding struggle where the artillery never stops. Where the forge and “the Devil’s Anvil” continues to consume even the bravest combatants.

NEW MAP: FORT DE VAUX

The first big engagement inside a fort during World War 1 takes place in the dark underworld of Fort de Vaux. Down in the maze of dark galleries and wet stone corridors, French and Germans fight ferociously with grenades, guns, bayonets, and flamethrowers. Watch your corners!

NEW MAP: SOISSONS

Take part in one of the biggest tank assaults of World War 1. The French 10th Army moves to take back Soissons using their powerful Saint Chamond tanks. Planes, tanks, and infantry clash in the beautiful French countryside in the early hours of a hot summer day. Only the thunderstorm is louder than the war.

NEW MAP: RUPTURE

In dire need to capture key bridges across the Aisne river, the French find themselves back into battlefields where poppies grow over a rusty wreck from previous tank battles. It might seem calm but this maze of steel beasts provides an excellent place for those who plan an ambush. As the sun sets over Fontenoy, the battle wakes up.

The French Army Joins The Fight

Hardened and fearless, the French join the fight. Don the faction’s characteristic blue uniform and defend your homeland.

NEW GAME MODE: FRONTLINES

Experience a mix of Conquest and Rush as you fight for chained control points in a tug-of-war frontline. 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.

PILOT A STEEL BEHEMOTH

Spawn into the Char 2C tank and control an epic new behemoth. Based on the real-world French tank, this super-heavy beast may turn the tide of the entire battle.
