Battlefield 1 is an excellent game, and I mean really excellent. While I haven’t yet been able to sink as many hours into it as I’d like, I’ve already been thinking about picking up the game on PC for a much richer experience, and snagging the Season Pass as well considering the game has a lot yet to come.
Speaking of the future content of Battlefield 1, DICE has recently finally released some information regarding the upcoming content releases, and what players can expect to experience within the titles four upcoming DLC expansions.
They Shall Not Pass: Expansion 1
Play as one of the most ferocious armies in WW1 – the French. Engage in the savage fighting around the furnace of Verdun, and descend into the bowels of Fort de Vaux where barbarous battles rage in the gas-filled corridors. Take part in the largest tank assault of the war by the Aisne riverbanks.
In the Name of the Tsar: Expansion 2
Enter the biggest front of WW1 with the Russian Army. Ride in Galicia with the legendary Hussars during the Brusilov offensive. Partake in the skirmishes of the Albion assault in a freezing archipelago and fight in the snow covered ravines of the treacherous Lupkow Pass.
Turning Tides: Expansion 3
Participate in the amphibious warfare of WW1. Embark with the new destroyer into intense tactical naval clashes. Master the coastal class airship in the fierce interplay between land, air and sea. Engage in the daredevil Zeebrugge raid and storm the beaches in the first days of the Gallipoli offensive.
Apocalypse: Expansion 4
Go over the top in the most infamous battles of WW1. Conquer bitterly contested ground with brutal tools and unique weapons born out of desperation and deadlock. Never before have the nightmarish horrors of the Great War been closer as you descend into hell. Prepare to enter the Apocalypse.
With so much on the way, now is definitely a great opportunity to start thinking about jumping into the game if you haven’t yet done so. For players who may be interested in giving it a shot, DICE has announced that from March 3rd- March 5th PC and Xbox One players will be able to take advantage of the “free trials” period for the game which will features the games multiplayer and single player. For those on the Xbox One version, you’ll be able to play the game as much as you want during the free trial period, where as PC players will only have 10 hours of play time and will be limited to two multiplayer maps and limited to the first two war stories of the campaign.
If you’re leaning more towards the “YES I NEED THIS GAME NOW” side of things, you’ll likely be happy to know that EA is currently holding a publisher sells, where Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC owners can grab the Ultimate Edition version of the game for 60% off. The ultimate edition features pretty much everything, as well as the Season Pass, so you won’t be missing out on all the upcoming content. I might just take advantage of this for the PC version.
Battlefield 1 is available now for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
