“Battlefield 1” is the second best-selling FPS of 2016. This is not a light title, nor is one that comes without expectations. To keep players interested, DICE have to deliver updates, fix bugs and supply enough content to keep the player base interested in the game, while bringing new players into the action. Here are the latest news surrounding the game.
Videogames Republic has announced that anyone who purchases a “Battlefield 1” season pass will also receive a free upgrade to the game’s Deluxe version. This means that everyone who has missed the opportunity to purchase a Deluxe copy of the game or has found it rather disadvantageous or too expensive has now received a second chance at receiving the special goodies coming with the game. Those who have already purchased a Deluxe edition of “Battlefield 1” will not receive any additional content, as the Deluxe version special content can be redeemed only once. Even though it is quite the bummer for certain people, the offer is still a good one for everyone who has a standard copy of the game or wants to get into it now.
Among other news, GameSpot shares that the first paid DLC coming to “Battlefield 1” named “The Shall Not Pass” will be made available for purchase in March. The DLC offers the colors of the French army, who wear blue uniforms, new weapons, a new game mode called “Frontlines” and two vehicles. The vehicles are the heavy tank named “Char 2C” and “St. Chamond” which is a lighter tank.
