REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) today announced access to the exclusive
beta for Battlefield 4™, the next entry in DICE's
award-winning shooter series, to players that pre-order Medal of
Honor™ Warfighter Limited Edition* prior to the game's launch on
Oct. 23. The most authentic shooter this holiday, Medal of Honor
Warfighter is the only game that puts players in the boots of the
world's most aggressive, precise and disciplined warfighters, fighting
battles that are ripped from headlines around the globe. Powered by the
ground-breaking Frostbite™ 2 engine, Medal of Honor Warfighter
delivers tomorrow's technology on today's platforms with advanced
gameplay, visuals and sound design.
The exclusive Battlefield 4 beta will be available in Fall 2013.
Additional details regarding Battlefield 4 will be revealed at a
later date.
"Though Battlefield and Medal of Honor Warfighter each
offer players a completely unique experience, they are united by their
underlying technology base — Frostbite. These are two of the
hottest shooters, coming together to deliver a one-two punch of action,
intensity and shooter entertainment," said Frank Gibeau, President of EA
Labels.
Written by U.S. Tier 1 Operators while deployed overseas, Medal of
Honor Warfighter is set to deliver this year's most authentic
military shooter experience inspired by real warriors, real operations
and real places. From rescuing hostages in Abu Sayyaf's stronghold in
the Philippines to assaulting Al-Shabaab's "Pirate Town" on the Somali
Coast, Medal of Honor Warfighter puts players in the boots of
today's most highly trained and skilled warriors to experience missions
that have a dotted line to real world terrorist threats. Medal of
Honor Warfighter features real world hotspots in the single player
campaign and introduces international Tier 1 Operators from 10 different
nations in multiplayer allowing players to show their national pride
online.
"Frostbite 2 is an amazingly powerful technology that challenges
us to break the multiplayer mold. The unique premise of global
warfighters in Medal of Honor Warfighter has inspired us
to pioneer new multiplayer concepts such as Fire Teams and the idea of
having Tier 1 Operators from around the world go head-to-head in online
competition," said Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer, Medal of Honor.
Developed by Danger Close Games, Medal of Honor Warfighter will
be available in North America on October 23, 2012 and in Europe on
October 26, 2012 for the Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment
system and PC. For more information on Medal of Honor Warfighter,
