During EA Play, 2016’s Battlefield 1 wasn’t ignored either.

They didn’t say much new about the next DLC, but allow us to copy the info from the website to recap:

„„Enter the war’s biggest front in the most extensive Battlefield expansion so far. Releasing in September, Battlefield 1 In the Name of the Tsar is the second Battlefield 1 expansion and sees the Russian Army joining the fight, including the Women’s Battalion of Death represented by the Scout class.

Fight on Six All-New Maps

• Lupkow Pass: Fight in the snow-covered ravines of the treacherous Lupkow Pass. Against this dramatic backdrop, the vertical fights are as bitter as the cold.
• Albion: Partake in the skirmishes of the Albion assault in a freezing archipelago. In this massive invasion of the Baltic peninsula, the German Empire attacks with infantry, dreadnoughts, and aircraft against the heavy coastal gun batteries of the Russian forces.
• Galicia: In the midst of the epic Brusilov Offensive, the Russian Empire is fighting to push back the Austro-Hungarian forces in the Russian countryside. Take on an open map focused on infantry, cavalry, and light vehicles.
• Brusilov Keep: The Russians have pushed their enemy into a small mountain town, but the Austro-Hungarians are making a strong stand. Experience close-quarter fights by the Carpathians on an infantry-focused map.

Expand your arsenal with 11 new, Russian-themed weapons including the Mosin-Nagant M91, together with new melee weapons, and the Russian Standard 1912 grenade. Pilot the massive Ilya-Muromets Heavy Bomber, wield the amped-up firepower of the Putilov-Garford Heavy Armored Car, and spawn strategically on the Y-Lighter Landing Craft. You’ll also be able to defend your positions with a new stationary weapon: the powerful coastal gun batteries. You can also ride with the legendary Hussar cavalry and charge into battle with new tactical possibilities. Master the all-new lance and evolved horse move set.

It also has a new game mode called Supply Drop, where you’ll join a fast-paced fight for supplies on the Eastern Front as planes airdrop everything needed to outgun and outscore your opponents. We’re also adding new, epic Operations including Brusilov Offensive – one of the most lethal offensives of the war. The DLC also comes with many new goals and in-game giveaways. Expect new Medals, Dog Tags, Service Stars, and more that will keep you in the fight even longer.”

In other news, the console version of the CTE (Community Test Environment) „will be available on consoles soon,” Premium Pass or They Shall Not Pass owners can access two new Nivelle Nights from June and Prise de Tahure from July (both are night maps). With the launch of the latter map, Premium Trials will launch where players without the Premium Pass can access premium-only maps. Premium Friends allows us (if we have it) to invite friends to fight with us on maps that they cannot access otherwise for not owning the DLC, for example. The third expansion, Turning Tides, will launch in December, and the final one (Apocalypse) follows in early 2018. Quoting a sentence from the website, „we’re very excited to bring a competitive experience to the 20 million players of Battlefield 1 and can’t wait to share more with you, our community, at Gamescom in August.” Hmmm…
