Gloomy, only a minute long, teaser for verses by Anna Akhmatova. “The largest addition to date” is a statement on the official website. With the release of the second addition, the developers close the gaping gap in which Battlefield 1 poked immediately after the release.
The game published in October 2016, which was so vividly portraying the First World War, kept silent about one of its main fronts-the Eastern, and about one of its main participants-the Russian Empire. The players (especially our compatriots) subjected such a solution to loud criticism and ridicule. In September 2017, justice will be restored.
Trenches, trenches, – you will get lost here
"In the name of the king" will add a lot of new cards to Battlefield 1 atypically. Instead of traditional four, this DLC includes as many as six new levels. The name and subject of some are already known: this is the snow -covered “Lupkovsky Pass”, the ice “Albion”, the student “Brusilovsky breakthrough” and the autumn “Galicia”. As you can understand from the description, most cards in the addition will be winter.
"Pass" promises to be a card with a complex landscape and a significant height difference. It was this card that was presented to the sample of EA Play. Here, among the raging snowstorms, players fighting for the Russian Empire will have to repulse the Austro-Hungarian troops.

Battlefield 1 already has a level with a similar structure – “Verden’s height”. For the normal balance of “heights”, a couple of patches were needed: nevertheless, the advantage in height gives an obvious head start of one of the teams.
Albion is probably a reference to the battle of 1917, during which German troops tried to capture the Monzund Islands belonging to Russia in the Baltic Sea. A cold and the sea – we don’t remember such a combination of conditions on one map in Battlefield. We are waiting for a definite interesting card.
By the way, it is here that players will be able to try the new landing barge “Y Lighter” – she will be able to move the fighters between the islands.

There was a flap from old Europe
Brusilovsky Breakthrough is a potentially the most popular addition card due to its infantry orientation. It's no secret that many players in Battlefield 1 prefers small cards. There is something magical in the ongoing finger and throwing enemy grenades on the other end of the street. And a small village in the Carpathians can become just such an arena for the mass public.
This is important: __ Remarus in order to avoid confusion: “Brusilov’s breakthroughs” in a new addition two: the card of the same name and “operation”, consisting of several cards.
"Galicia" is a cold, albeit not a winter map, a large open space at the foot of the Carpathian mountains. Here the Russian Empire will clash with Austria-Hungary, throwing infantry, cavalry and light equipment at the enemy. It is "Galicia" – the first card in the operation "Brusilovsky breakthrough".

There is a frame with a new transport on this map in Tizer of additions: the armored car "Putilov-Harford" will help players quickly get to hot spots.
There is no reliable information about the other two levels. Their developers saved “for later” – according to our estimates, to the Gamescom exhibition in August, where they will also show a complete addition trailer.

Where cities burn in a cloud of smoke ..
“In the name of the Tsar” will replenish the treasury of operations in Battlefield 1 “Brusilovsky breakthrough”. Apparently, this will be a three -stage battle, flowing at the levels of "Galicia – pass – Brusilovsky breakthrough". Good contrast: the open autumn “Galicia” will be replaced by a harsh, snow-capped and reared “pass”, then the battle reaches the highest point of intensity on the narrow streets of the town, lost somewhere in the Carpathians.

Another second addition will add to Battlefield 1 eleven new weapons models, and we partly know which. Players will finally receive the famous “three -line”, she is also a Mosin rifle, as well as the Mosin revolver and Fedorov’s machine gun. The class of the attack aircraft will acquire a powerful M900 double -barrene, and support fighters will be able to mow the enemy from the Parabellum machine gun with a tape power supply system.
Large -caliber lovers will delight the appearance of a new stationary gun – coastal batteries.
And now the Crimea is getting a ridge
Another "giant" innovation is the legendary "Ilya Muromets". This huge biplane will appear in Battlefield 1 as a bomber. It is not yet clear how the management will be implemented-after all, the plane is very massive. There is an assumption that the flight of the Muromets will be a script event with a blow at a given point. But if not and they can fully “steer” – this is very cool!

Among the primitive, but time -tested instruments of murder, too, replenishment. "In the name of the king" will add a new variation of a cavalryman to Battlefield 1 – a rider with a deadly acute pike. Tizer shows the moment of the fierce of the attack: the unfortunate Austroveng at full speed is planted at the peak, as if some kind of game.
This fighter is better not to cross the road.
I lead the collaborators in the flock
One of the main novelties of the second addition is made directly on its cover. A female death battalion is entered on the battlefield, represented by Russian scouts. To try on the role of a warrior, it will be enough to choose a scout class, playing for the army of the Russian Empire. Battlefield developers resisted the idea of adding ladies to network battles for a very long time, but in the end surrendered.
In the camp of network modes, Battlefield 1 is also expected to replenish. “Discount of supplies” seems to be leaning towards the fashionable “survival”. Judging by the description, we are waiting for an infantry fight in conditions of limited ammunition. Militaries will be dropped from the aircraft on the battlefield: who dared, he ate! It must be assumed that the ability to quickly get to the “parcels” and control them determines the chances of winning a new mode.
Oh, the quiet edge of the blue cloak ..
Dice emphasizes that they paid a lot of attention to the authenticity of the Russian Empire in the addition. Native speakers of the Russian language helped developers: part of the Dice team went to Russia to record dialogs. Additional studies were conducted: they will help more accurately convey the Russian spirit to "in the name of the king".
The study of the appearance of Russian soldiers was conducted with the participation of specializing in the First World Historians. They manually recreated a military uniform in reality, and then the developers used photogrammetry to use objects in the game.
But, of course, the main element of authenticity is the very frosts without which almost no game related to Russia is complete.
However, no matter how delicious all this sounds, before the exit of the addition “in the name of the king” is still the whole summer. The release is scheduled for September, and Premium Pass holders will receive traditional two -week early access.
