Now, the Premium Pass may have only announced that the French and Russian Empires will be popping into Battlefield later along the line, but who's to say that these will be the only two further factional additions?

After all, dozens of nations took part in 'the war to end all wars', including, quite famously, Canada.

The nation, as a dominion of the British Empire, pretty much had no say in whether or not it could go to war with the Central Powers. This meant that the Canadian Expeditionary Force, along with the Newfoundland Regiment, participated in some of the most climactic battles of the conflict - the former's most famous confrontation being the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

Vimy Ridge was the defining moment of the Canadian war effort, and contributed greatly to the greater German defeat at the Battle of Arras, a wider offensive mounted by British, Canadian, and Anzac soldiers during the spring of 1917. Considering the popularity of Monte Grappa as a map, it would only make sense to add more vertical locales to the fray.

Make it happen, DICE!

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
