The online shooter Battlefield 1 will soon receive the long-awaited DLC “In the Name of the Tsar”. It features Russians, new weapons, vehicles, maps, and another game mode.
When Battlefield 1 was first announced, the selection of playable armies caused controversy. The developers had omitted the armies of France and Russia. Both nations were significantly involved in the course of the war, and a large part of the battles took place on their terrain.
The French were already introduced with the DLC They shall not Pass. The Russians will soon follow with In the Name of the Tsar.
Battlefield 1 – Maps, game modes, and female soldiers
The DLC “In the Name of the Tsar” offers a whole range of cool features that enhance your experience in Battlefield 1. The features of the DLC include, among other things:
- The army of Russia with the new Hussar cavalry class, which fights on horseback with a lance
- Female soldiers
- 11 new rifles, various grenades and melee weapons, as well as vehicles, including a gigantic bomber as a Behemoth unit
- A new game mode “Supply Drop”. In this mode, you must find dropped supplies and secure them away from your enemies.
- The new maps “Lupkow Pass”, “Albion”, “Galicia”, “Brusilov Keep”, “Tsaritsyn”, “Volga River”
- Two new operations called “Brussilow Offensive” and “Red Flood”
- HDR support for an even more intense gaming experience
In the Name of Tsar now has a concrete release date for Battlefield. The DLC will be released on September 19, 2017. Those who own a Season Pass will receive the new content two weeks earlier, on September 5, 2017.
“In the Name of the Tsar” costs €14.99 as a standalone DLC. If you have a Season Pass (currently available for €30), the Russian DLC is not only available earlier but also at no additional cost, as it is included in the pass.
