Battlefield 4’s first expansion pack release date

Premium Members will be able to get the China Rising DLC pack on December 3rd. DICE has updated their Premium Calendar, showing the release for the expansion.

China Rising is to be the first of five planned expansion packs and will offer four new maps, vehicles and equipment.

With the Premium Membership offering DLC and expansions to members two weeks early, this suggests that non-Premium players will be able to get it on December 17th – but this has yet to be confirmed.

EA on why DICE is a perfect fit for Star Wars: Battlefront

EA Labels president Frank Gibeau spoke to IGN whilst at E3 about how Battlefield studio DICE is the perfect studio to make the hotly anticipated upcoming game.

“Battlefront is a vehicle experience, it’s a character experience. DICE has … been able to demonstrate through the Frostbite tech and through their design capabilities and talent that they can create these huge, epic set-piece wars. That’s kind of the dream of Battlefront. Hoth, the battle of Hoth. You’ve got space, you’ve got the surface, you’ve got infantry, you’ve got AT-ATs. That’s the table stakes that they come in with. They know how to do that. They’re really good at it.”

“They’re not just going to ape what we’ve seen in the past …They’re going to bring their own sensibilities and design ideas. We want to innovate. We want to try new things … From our perspective, it’s capturing that epic, Star Wars, all-out huge scale. That’s what we’ll go after.” Gibeau said.
