No details were announced regarding the update’s contents, but it likely includes the first part of Battlefield 1’s In the Name of the Tsar DLC considering its huge file size. Shared on Reddit, the game’s PC version weighs around 6GB. Announced earlier in June, the snow-covered map Lupkow Pass will be available 30 days ahead of In the Name of the Tsar’s full launch in September.
Aside from Lukpow Pass, Battlefield 1 In the Name of the Tsar DLC has three more maps included: Albion, Galicia, and Brusilov Keep. The expansion will also introduce new weapons and playable female soldiers with the Women’s Battalion of Death.
