Battlefield 1 Turning Tides Expansion Out December 11

[Shawn Zipay]

Come December 11, those with the Battlefield 1 Premium Pass will get to head into all new battles with the release of the Turning Tides expansion. As always, this will be a staggered release. The first comes on December 11 for the Premium Pass owners. The second wave begins in January 2018 and adds in two additional maps to the mix.

Battlefield 1 Turning Tides will be released in two waves – the first wave is coming on December 11th for Battlefield 1 Premium Pass owners. Players will be able to fight across a duo of epic maps, including Cape Helles and Achi Baba. In a new Operation set on these maps, players can take part in the 1915 British amphibious assault of the Gallipoli peninsula. There will be a new Infiltrator Elite Class, six weapons and two melee weapons added to your arsenal, and you’ll get to rule the waves with the L-Class Destroyer. The second wave, coming January 2018, puts players in the North Sea to tackle two other unique maps: Zeebrugge and Heligoland Blight, with the chance to charge into battle with the new Royal Marines and spawn on the C-Class Airship.

A few additional details can be found in a new blog entry for Turning Tides. In addition, DICE and EA provided some hot new details on other updates coming soon to Battlefield 1. This includes a couple of free trials.

• Battlefield 1 They Shall Not Pass and Battlefield 1 In the Name of the Tsar free trials will be available between November 22^nd – December 4^th and December 8^th – December 10^th. Players can log in to Battlefield 1 on these dates to fight with (or against) the French and Russian Armies and sample new maps, weapons, and vehicles.
• Frontlines Mode is coming to the Suez map on November 27^th. Frontlines can be described as a mix of Conquest and Rush and has you fighting for chained control points in an intense tug-of-war.
• Fall of Empires Operation Campaign will be available for all Battlefield 1 owners between November 22^nd and December 6^th. Fall of Empires combines two Operations: Conquer Hell and Iron Walls. These are in turn inspired by two 1918 events: the battle of Vittorio Veneto and the Meuse-Argonne offensive on the Western Front.
• Black Friday Deals on Battlefield 1 will be available (for select regions and platforms) to give new players an opportunity to discover everything that Battlefield 1 Revolution and Battlefield 1 Premium Pass has to offer.
