While Call of Duty: WWII have single handedly dominated the console gaming last year, Electronic Arts only released one DLC for their World War 1 based shooter Battlefield 1. They are trying to get back in the game once again with a new update for the aforementioned title and the fourth DLC game pack Apocalypse, which has new content, gadgets, maps and weapons but is currently accessible for some selective player base.
Below is the official trailer clip of Battlefield 1's newest DLC expansion pack Apocalypse in its iconic glory.
Apocalypse expansion pack brings five new maps for the Battlefield 1 players to explore. The Caporetto, Passchendaele and River Somme are three of the standard multiplayer maps. You play on an aircraft-only game mode on London Calling and Razor's Edge maps as they are specifically designed for Air Assault. Though the majority of the battle is just dogfights but that doesn't mean that giant Airships won't be popping out of nowhere to give you some more trouble.

The DLC pack brings few new tools on the table. There are weapons like RSC SMG, meat cleaver or handy prybar to use as melee weapon, AA Rocket Gun for the Assault class to damage enemy aircrafts. Plus, two bomber aircrafts Airco DH10 and Hansa Brandenburg GI will be at your disposal. Codex entries, dog tags, medals and ribbons are among the cosmetic items that you need to unlock and you got some new assignments as well.
Brand-New Weapons
You can only get access to Apocalypse DLC if you own a Premium Pass or happen to have the Battlefield 1 Revolution Edition. Revolution got the whole base game along with access to all the DLC release in advance. The expansion will be available within the next two weeks for purchase and the date is March 6. However, the new update is necessary to download to play online even if you have the main game already.

Developed by EA DICE, Battlefield 1 is a first-person shooter released for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One worldwide on October 21, 2016. Even though developer DICE isn't showing signs of giving up support for the game anytime soon, as far as confirmation goes, Apocalypse is going to be the last DLC for Battlefield 1. Besides, there was rumor for a new Battlefield game to be released at the end of 2018 but no official statement from EA was released yet.
