DICE has confirmed that Battlefield 3 will get a special Double XP period in just 30 minutes to prepare for the launch of Battlefield 4 next week.

Battlefield 4 is set to deliver an impressive evolution of the first-person shooter experience seen in Battlefield 3, thanks to the new and improved engine, in the form of Frostbite 3, as well as many other new features.

Now, ahead of the launch of Battlefield 4 next week, on October 29, in North America, and November 1, in Europe and the rest of the world, DICE has confirmed on Twitter that it's going to kick off a special double XP period in the multiplayer of Battlefield 3.

The promotion starts in around 30 minutes across the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, so this is one last chance to experience the old game before the launch of its successor.
