In March, the France DLC for Battlefield 1 will be released. The teaser shows a soldier who could be the new elite class of the expansion.
In just a few weeks, the first premium DLC for Battlefield 1 will be released. It is named “They Shall not Pass” and makes the French army playable. In a video, the developers now show what players can expect from the new DLC.
They Shall not Pass – Release in March
In the 15-second teaser for the France DLC of Battlefield 1, a large vehicle that looks like a tank can be seen behind a wall of flames. It could be a new vehicle or even a Behemoth that will be available with the They Shall not Pass DLC. Initial speculation on Reddit suggests that this tank is a Char 2C. However, this assumption has not been officially confirmed.
The weapon that the soldier carries in the teaser could become a new melee weapon of the DLC. He also wears heavy armor. This might be the new elite class of Battlefield 1 that could be effective in close combat with this equipment. In the background, the French flag can be seen. Behind this flag, a huge forest fire is visible, reminiscent of the Devil’s Anvil concept. This map was inspired by the Battle of Verdun.
