14 DAY TRIAL // Battlefield 4 has been officially revealed to the world thanks to a special 17-minute direct gameplay video and now developer DICE together with publisher Electronic Arts have posted the official details about the new first-person shooter.
Battlefield 3 delighted millions of fans and many of them are eagerly awaiting Battlefield 4, the next installment in the prestigious series.
After plenty of leaks and reports, Battlefield 4 has been unveiled by DICE and EA through a stunning gameplay video.
Now, the first actual details about the new shooter have just been made available through an official statement.
According to the two companies, Battlefield 4 runs on an all-new Frostbite 3 engine that should deliver an even more impressive experience than Battlefield 3's Frostbite 2.
"Battlefield 4 is a seminal moment for the Battlefield series as more award-winning, multiplayer game design elements are incorporated into the single-player campaign. 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," the game's description said.
What's more, Battlefield 4's single-player campaign will be a social experience, as it will now "track players’ progress, adding an element of persistence and friendly competition to the campaign."
"Players will learn how to work together in both the Campaign and Multiplayer, issuing squad orders and comparing achievements in both experiences. Adventure and Competition will unfold through a series of beautifully crafted locations constructed with some of the best art and sound design in modern shooters. All of this is only possible with Frostbite 3 – a new standard for interactive entertainment in 2013."
Battlefield 4 is now available for pre-order at different retail outlets and by doing so fans will get free access to a Premium expansion pack that hasn't been detailed just yet.
What's more, PC owners can get a Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe edition via EA's Origin service that includes the game, different in-game items, the aforementioned Premium DLC, as well as access into the Battlefield 4 beta stage.
