EA has released information about a new DLC on the way for Battlefield 1 players. The Giant's Shadow map DLC release has two major attractions; firstly it's free to all Battlefield 1 players, and secondly it features a powerful new weapon called the grenade crossbow.
The name of this map is derived from the fact that a massive crashed airship casts a shadow over an area of the landscape, shown above. The area features fierce combat on the open ground and river banks alongside the Cateau-Wassigny railway, which isn't far off the Belgian border.
This is the setting for the Battle of the Selle, 1918, according to the Battlefield blog. The story of this map is that "British forces have broken through the Hindenburg line and are heading towards a strategic railway centre". The outcome of the impending battle is uncertain and the arrival of an armoured train could upset any expectations.
