Celebrated DICE Studio Delivers a New Era of Battlefield with
World-Class Multiplayer Gameplay Featuring Levolution, Commander Mode
and Epic 64-Player Battles for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
DICE, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA), today demonstrated
the next generation of Battlefield
4™ at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles,
California. DICE showcased "Angry Sea," a stunning single-player
demo at the Microsoft media briefing, "Xbox: A New Generation of
Games Revealed." DICE also debuted "Siege of Shanghai," a spectacular 64-person
multiplayer match at "The Download: EA 2013 Preview" press
conference. Both software demos were running at a silky smooth 60-frames
per second, even while rendering massive maps, vehicles and infantry,
environmental effects and dynamic destruction. Gamers can tune into a
live stream of Battlefield 4 multiplayer direct from the EA E3
show floor at: http://www.battlefield.com.
DICE also revealed two notable innovations in multiplayer: a
game-changer called Levolution,
and the return of the fan-favorite Commander
Mode. Levolution creates a dynamic and emergent battlefield where
gamers can use the environment to their advantage like cutting the power
to a building to shroud their enemy in darkness or reducing an entire
skyscraper to rubble to alter the battlefield. With Levolution, the
environment reacts to the player's every move and ensures no two games
will ever be the same. Commander Mode places two opposing players
at the heart of the situation room with a birds-eye view of the
battlefield. It's a tug-of-war match between two commanders as they
deliver critical intelligence and powerful assets to their troops below
to the turn the tide of the battle. Gamers will feel the rush of
Commander Mode on current-generation and next-generation consoles as
well as PC. For the first time, commanders can also take control from
their iPad® or Android™ tablet.
DICE also announced today in celebration of the unveiling of Battlefield
4 multiplayer and to thank the millions of fans that have logged
over one billion gameplay hours in Battlefield 3, DICE is giving
away Battlefield 3: Close Quarters digital expansion pack to all Battlefield
3 players for free*. For more details on how to download the pack,
