EA Dice has announced that the Battlefield 1 downloadable content pack They Shall not Pass will contain 4 new multiplayer maps, new vehicles, new weapons and a new Elite class.

The new maps included in the downloadable content pack are Verdun Heights, Fort de Vaux, Soissons and Rupture. The maps feature locations that were also shown in the early map concept artwork that was released in December.

Aside from the new maps the content pack will also introduce a new game mode to the game dubbed Frontlines. The game mode is described as a mixture between the game's existing Conquest and Rush game modes.

In frontlines two teams battle against each other to conquer flagpoles. Once the enemy headquarter flagpole is controlled by the opposing team the multiplayer match turns into a Rush mode where the team has to attack or defend telegraph poles.

The content pack will also feature several new vehicles, including the Char 2C tank, the St. Chamond tank, and several new weapons, including the stationair Siege Howitzer weapon, and a new Elite class called the Trench Raider.

They Shall Not Pass is the first content pack for Battlefield 1 set to launch in March 2017. The pack is one of four expansion packs planned for the game.
