Content from Battlefield 1‘s They Shall Not Pass expansion is currently testable in the game’s Community Test Environment, and players have seemingly uncovered an undead secret in one of the maps.

On the new Fort Vaux map, something monstrous can be heard screaming just out of sight. The screams sound very reminiscent of zombie screams from other popular entertainment properties like The Walking Dead, or the Zombies Survival mode in recent Treyarch-developed Call of Duty games. They can be heard coming from behind the walls around a number of locations in the new map, as demonstrated in player videos.

The screams eventually loop themselves, and it does not currently appear as though the audio is triggered by anything specific. It is very likely this secret is part of another larger Easter egg that was discovered earlier this week. After a long and arduous process, this larger Easter egg rewards players with a dog tag titled “A Beginning”, earned by using an M-COM to discover a sequence of hidden locations. Returning to the M-COM once the secret is concluded produces one last message relayed in a much more sinister tone than the messages before. This likely alludes to whatever is in store for the zombies in the walls.

Other players can take their turns at cracking this secret when the They Shall Not Pass expansion launches sometime in March, coming two weeks earlier for those with the Premium Pass.
