It seems like it’s been an awfully long time since we first heard about In the Name of the Tsar, and well it has. It was first revealed in February but the wait for the next Battlefield 1 expansion is over (for some anyway!). If you own the Battlefield 1 Premium Pass, you can download and play the expansion now via your two week early access. Other players who will be purchasing the expansion separately will have to wait for now. Regardless, it is a huge update for the game including:
- 5 new maps
- New “Supply Drop” game mode
- 2 new Operations
- 2 new Factions
- 5 new vehicles
- A plethora of new weapons
- HDR support (HDR10)
- Many bug fixes and improvements
You can find the full details of the update via Battlefield’s blog here: In the Name of the Tsar Update Details
Our Take
Battlefield 1 has been a huge hit for DICE with over 20 million registered players and is a favorite of SG and our fans as well. We’ve been awaiting this expansion for a long time now so it’ll be nice to jump back into BF1 with some fresh content. See you on the Battlefield.
