EA provides first Battlefield 4 details

DICE, a studio of Electronic Arts, has formally announced Battlefield 4, the action blockbuster launching in Fall 2013.

Powered by the advanced technology of DICE’s proprietary Frostbite 3 engine, Battlefield 4 promises players a glimpse into the future of interactive entertainment. In single-player, gamers will experience huge environments, a playground of destruction, access to an arsenal of vehicles and the ability to direct squad mates. Taking a page from the social aspect of multiplayer gaming, the single-player mode will now track players’ progress, adding an element of persistence and competition to the campaign.

The game made its world debut today with a 17-minute gameplay demo. The demo begins as the player – Recker – opens his eyes to discover that he is trapped in a rapidly sinking car with three of his squad mates. Shooting the window is the only way out. Players will see how to work together in both the Campaign and Multiplayer, issuing squad orders and comparing achievements in both experiences.

Pre-ordering Battlefield 4 is now live, and those who do will receive a Premium expansion pack at no additional cost. DICE also announced today Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe, an Origin exclusive special edition that includes the base game and bonus in-game digital items. Players that pre-order Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe on Origin will also receive the Premium expansion pack as well as access to the exclusive Battlefield 4 multiplayer beta.

Battlefield 4 is currently planned for release on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. There is word that the game may also appear on next generation home consoles.
