Developer DICE and publisher Electronic Arts reveal that those who pre-order the upcoming Battlefield 4 first-person shooter will get access to an exclusive piece of DLC called China Rising.

The downloadable content pack includes four maps for gamers to explore, high tech gears to equip and use and new vehicles to drive and fight against.

The DICE team says on the official site that China Rising will allow players to, "Fight for dominance across the vast and majestic Chinese mainland in four massive maps, using all-new vehicles and high-tech military equipment."

It's unclear whether the China Rising DLC pack will also be offered post launch for those who buy the normal retail version of the game.

Battlefield 4 will be out later in the year on the PC, current-gen consoles, the PlayStation 4 from Sony and the Xbox One from Microsoft.
