In other Battlefield 1 news, the next expansion for Apocalypse kicks off next month. As per our previous coverage, "there will be five new maps introduced, including scenarios that take place in Passchendaele, River Somme and Caporetto. For good measure, there will also be two maps that are devoted to dogfight battles, in case you feel like showing off aerial superiority. You can shoot enemies down in the Razor's Edge map, or feel the glowing sun on your face as you fly into London Calling. And if you feel like staying in the air, a new Air Assault mode will also be introduced, where you can compete against players without having your feet touch the ground. On the Caporetto map, you'll also have access to two new bombers – the Hansa Brandenburg GI and the Airco DH10."
