Electronic Arts gave us a first look today at the next expansion pack for Battlefield 1, a Russian campaign dubbed In the Name of the Tsar. And it also showed off the next multiplayer map coming this summer for the World War I shooter game.

In Neville Nights, you fight in the muddy battlefields around Malmaison and Soupir, as French and German artillery prepare to pound each other over hotly contested ground. Only this time, you are fighting in the dark. The map is the first night combat map for Battlefield 1 multiplayer, and I got a hands-on session for an hour today at the EA Play event in Los Angeles. EA showed the first game play today at its event ahead of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) game trade show.
