14 DAY TRIAL // DICE has confirmed that it's going to debut tomorrow, December 3, not one, but two updates for Battlefield 4 on the PC and PlayStation 4 platforms in order to solve key issues such as the one-hit kill bug.
Battlefield 4 is set to receive tomorrow the China Rising DLC map pack, the first in the series of add-ons for the game across all platforms, namely PC, PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, or Xbox One.
Before the add-on's debut, DICE has confirmed that two updates will go live on the PC and PS4 tomorrow, December 3.
The studio has revealed on its Battlelog platform that the PC patch will debut on Origin at around 1am PST 10am UTC on December 3. Check out the patch notes below.
