Update: Battlefield 1’s In The Name of the Tsar is now free on Origin. Battlefield 4’s Final Stand can be found free here on Origin.

After releasing Battlefield 1’s They Shall Not Pass DLC and Battlefield 4’s Dragon’s Teeth DLC for the low, low price of free earlier in May, EA have announced some new free DLC packs for both games. For Battlefield 1 players, In The Name of the Tsar is available free on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store.

With a new faction (Russian Army), six maps and numerous new weapons, In The Name of the Tsar is one of the better expansions for Battlefield 1. It’s oddly not free for PC but that could be pending an update on the Origin store so keep checking back.

As for Battlefield 4 players, they receive Final Stand which contains four new maps, two new weapons, five new attachments, and four new vehicles. It has a more futuristic bent, echoing the earlier Battlefield 2142. Pick it up on PlayStation Store and Xbox Store now.

Once these expansions have been added to a game library, they’re yours to keep forever. Not a bad deal, especially with Battlefield 5 to be revealed on May 23rd and released in October for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Battlefield 4’s Final Stand DLC is now available for free on Xbox Live as part of the Road to Battlefield campaign started by DICE and EA where all Battlefield DLC will be given away free across all platforms. Oddly enough, Final Stand still has a price on PlayStation Network but that could change soon.

Last week saw Battlefield 4’s Dragon’s Teeth and Battlefield: Hardline’s Robbery DLC packs available for free on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. This week’s Final Stand brings four snow-based maps to Battlefield 4 and is actually the final expansion for the game. If you’re going to pick it up, now is the time.

It’s actually not a bad time to get into Battlefield 4. Battlefield 1 was recently revealed by DICE with more information to arrive in the coming months and it will be out by October 21st. Till then, there’s no better way to kill time then to play Battlefield 4.

Battlefield 4: Dragon’s Teeth is already live for Premium subscribers and will be heading to general consumers on July 29th. But if you’re concerned about the latter months, especially given Battlefield: Hardline’s delay from October 2014 to early 2015, then you’ll be happy to know that Final Stand, the last DLC for Battlefield 4, will be out in Q3 of EA’s FY 2015. That means it will be out between October and December of this year according to an FY 2015 Q1 earnings report by the publisher.

The DLC was originally meant to arrive sooner but was delayed when DICE had halted development of other projects to focus on fixing Battlefield 4’s numerous bugs. As it stands, the game is more stable now but there’s no denying that Hardline would be more anticipated than a simple DLC pack.

What are your thoughts on the matter? Are you looking forward to Final Stand or would you have preferred playing Hardline this year instead? Let us know in the comments below.

DICE has seemingly resumed production of Battlefield 4 DLC, with Naval Strike due in late March. However, while DICE Stockholm has been handling development of the main game, it seems that DICE LA will handle development duties for the last two DLC packs in the series.

This was confirmed by “Darklord”, a Battlelog developer, on Reddit. DICE LA has been responsible for working on Second Assault, which launched first with the Xbox One edition of Battlefield 4. DICE Stockholm’s last DLC will be Naval Strike and it will then focus on the main game.

Late last year, it was decided that DICE would cease development on all future DLC and even Star Wars: Battlefront to focus on patching the number of bugs inherent in Battlefield 4. Whether that goal has been achieved or not really depends on the players, but at least there seem to be less cases of players being unable to get online. What are your thoughts? Let us know below.
