Battlefield 1developers release official concept art for the World War I shooter’s forthcoming They Shall Not Pass DLC that features the French army.
As of late,Battlefield 1fans have been getting a pretty solid amount of post-launch contentthanks to updatesto help tide them over until They Shall Not Pass, the game’s first of four paid DLC packages, launches next year. Now, in order to give players of the World War I-inspired shooter a glimpse into what kind of action should be expected out of the expansion,Battlefield 1’s developers have released a teaser image depicting the inclusion of the French army into the game.
As seen in theofficial tweetfromBattlefield’s Twitter account posted below, a rather intense-looking bunker battle ensues in the image with German and French soldiers fighting for survival in the enclosed space with tattered French flags attached to the walls. Furthermore, the still comes labeled with the caption, “Soyez prêts,” which is French for, “Be ready.”

Despite the fact thatBattlefield 1already has playable areas included in the game that feature French cities – such as theAmiens map, for example – the title has yet to actually feature the forces of France in the fight. Nevertheless, that’s all set to change in the coming months with the They Shall Not Pass DLC’s release in March 2017.
As previously announced,Battlefield 1’sPremium Passwill included 16 maps in total, and with there being four separate packages, it’s safe to assume that DICE and Electronic Arts will split them up evenly as possible. Once They Shall Not Pass drops, another future add-on will send players to the Eastern front for the Russian army to join the battle.
BeyondBattlefield 1’s French and Russian armies being given DLC packages that represent their roles in the Great War, DICE and Electronic Arts have yet to officially reveal any plans for other countries to be added into the game. Of course, at this point, British, German, Austro-Hungarian, Italian, Ottoman, and American armies have been included, but it’s anyone’s guess as to which Allied nation or Central Power will also be featured.
At any rate,Battlefield 1fans still have plenty to keep them busy until March rolls around to introduce the They Shall Not Pass DLC. Not only has a new map been included with theGiant’s Shadow DLC, but also developers have given players the chance to try out a fresh close-quarters combat experience with the incorporation of a new game type calledEye to Eye, which features shotguns-only fights with no health regeneration. In the meantime, soyez prêts,Battlefield 1fans.
Battlefield 1is out now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
