Battlefield 1 PS4 and Xbox One DLC update: EA reveal more on next expansion
BATTLEFIELD 1 on PS4, Xbox One and PC has been given a new DLC update, with EA providing more details on their next expansion plans.
Battlefield 1’s first DLC update landed in March, providing gamers the chance to try out new maps, weapons, Behemoths and the French Army.
It proved a successful launch, striking the right balance when it came to content and even containing an Easter egg involving a Megalodon.
The next DLC pack is called Battlefield 1: In The Name Of The Tsar, which takes place on the Eastern Front.
"Battlefield 1 In The Name Of The Tsar will bring you to the Eastern Front, where you will fight alongside the Russian army and witness the brutality of combat and the bitter cold of the Russian winters," reads a blog post.
"Prepare yourself for all new tactics employed by the Russian army. Though the frost is cold, the steel is colder."

And now EA have confirmed that the new Battlefield 1 DLC reveal has been set for June.
The fully unveiling is set to take place during the EA PLAY event around the weekend of E3 2017.
It’s also been confirmed that In the Name of Tsar will not arrive until late Summer, meaning fans will have to wait until at least August-September time to play it.
Before that happens, EA have confirmed that two new maps are set to launch in June for Season Pass owners.
New Map: Prise de Tahure: “We’re glad to announce that a new map called “Prise de Tahure” will be released shortly for testing on the CTE (Community Test Environment). Set in the autumn after the Nivelle Offensive, Prise de Tahure sees French troops desperately holding on to re-captured heights in the Butte-de-Tahure region.
“The frontline trench networks cut right through several villages facing obliteration from the constant skirmishing between German stormtroopers and French raiders. This is a war of attrition. Adaptability and tactics are the means to wear your adversary down.”
Nivelle Nights: “Speaking of new maps, the previously announced Nivelle Nights is soon here. Releasing in June for Battlefield 1 Premium Pass owners, this night map is located at the muddy battlefields around Malmaison and Soupir. Bite and hold as your foe will fight for every inch of ground.”
Other updates are also in offing, fans can expect a new Battlefield 1 patch to be released soon that will deal with, “Playlists for the mode and easier access to get quickly into the action.”
