News: If you own the premium pass you get new content today, otherwise you will receive this new content next week.

Battlefield 1 has some new content today thanks to DICE. This free update is available today for Premium Pass owners as well as those who pre-ordered Battlefield 1 and for everyone else the content will become available next week on December 20. Generally speaking Battlefield 1 Premium Pass owners get a two week head start with all Battlefield 1 expansions, including the first expansion pack, They Shall Not Pass, as well as 14 Superior Battlepacks, new weapons, priority in server queues and more.

The new content being released today is “Giant’s Shadow.” With this new content players can expect fierce combat on the open ground and river banks alongside the Cateau-Wassigny railway. Try out the new Support class gadget – the Grenade Crossbow – and turn the tide with an armored train. Also included in the update is a new Spectator Mode, where players will be able to join a live Battlefield 1 match as an observer, enabling them to switch between first-person and third-person camera views of all players, get a bird’s eye view of the action, or use Free Cam to fly through the map. Additionally, a new Custom Game option, Standard Issue Rifles will be coming to Battlefield 1. In Standard Issue Rifles, all classes are granted access to their faction’s standard issue rifle only, providing players with gameplay inspired by the WWI trenches.

EA has also released a trailer to tease this new content so take a look at it below and tell us what you think. Are you a Battlefield Premium Pass owner? If you aren’t, do you plan on getting one at some point?
