The first half of the Turning Tides expansion was already released during the end of last year, however, the remaining contents for the DLC, which will include the Zeebrugge and Heligoland Bight maps, the British Royal Marines faction, and a C-Class Airship vehicle will be released this January. Concerning future expansions, publisher EA and developer DICE have confirmed that details on Apocalypse, the upcoming fourth Battlefield 1 expansion, will be announced soon.
