REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) studio, today announced that Battlefield
4™ is now available in retail stores for the Xbox 360® videogame
and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation®3 computer
entertainment system and PC, as well as a digital download on Origin™.
Powered by the advanced technology of DICE's proprietary Frostbite™ 3
engine, gamers will experience the all-out-war and epic moments possible
only in Battlefield 4. The game lets players wage war across
land, air and sea with unparalleled vehicular combat, dynamic
environments and a new level of destruction. Console players can start
the battle today on current-gen and upgrade to next-gen for as low as
$9.99* when those systems launch in November. Players will also be able
to transfer their multiplayer stats at launch of the next-gen consoles
so they can hit the ground running.
Winner of more than 30 industry awards, Battlefield 4 has been
praised as "glorious chaos" by GameSpot while Yahoo! Games states it
"looks amazing and packs innovative multiplayer enhancements." With its
award-winning, best-in-class multiplayer, Battlefield 4 delivers
the bleeding edge of interactive technology and gaming. Battlefield 4
has received a 9.5 from GameTrailers.com, 9.0 from Joystiq.com, 8.75
from Game Informer Magazine and 8.5 from IGN.com.
Battlefield 4 features an engaging single-player campaign and
epic multiplayer online action. In the single-player, Battlefield 4 puts
players in the boots of U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Daniel Recker, member of
the Tombstone squad. The world is on the brink of chaos, China is the
tinderbox and the player is the inadvertent spark that could ignite a
global conflict. Navigating the turmoil around them as they fight to
save the final hope for peace between U.S., Russia and China, players
will engage in combat on foot and by operating land, sea and air units.
In multiplayer, Battlefield 4 offers a wide range of unique
experiences. The varied and distinct maps, thrilling game modes and
dynamic destruction ensure that no two games will be the same. Battlefield
4 players engage in close quarters squad-based combat and in vast
battles commandeering tanks, jeeps, jets, helicopters and naval units.
Whether in a jet dogfighting the opposing team or onboard an attack boat
in a joint strike with squad mates, the freedom of choice is always
present in Battlefield 4 multiplayer. Players will lead their
team to victory by running and gunning at the frontlines, locating the
perfect sniping position, or repairing critically damaged vehicles. Battlefield
4 lets players be more and do more on the battlefield to deliver an
entertainment experience that is unrivalled.
Fans looking to get the most out of their time on the battlefield can
