Following the announcement of Battlefield 4 at GDC yesterday, a “Premium” subscription, which we saw implemented into Battlefield 3, has been confirmed for the upcoming sequel.
Creative Director on BF4, Lars Gustavsson, confirmed this news to Digital Spy, where he said that, “We’ll definitely do Premium for Battlefield 4. It was so well received and we got good feedback from the community, so it’s definitely something we’re going to continue with.”
Specific details are still forthcoming for Premium, but if you pre-order the game from Origin, GameStop, or Best Buy, you’ll receive a free Premium expansion pack.
As for beta access to Battlefield 4, Lars also confirmed that Battlefield 3 Premium subscribers are going to access, alongside anyone who purchased the Medal of Honor: Warfighter Limited Edition. There’s no date for the beta yet, so stay tuned for more info as it arrives.
Here’s the Battlefield 4 box art, and product description from retailers:
Battlefield 4 is the genre-defining action blockbuster made from moments that blur the line between game and glory. Fueled by the next-generation power and fidelity of Frostbite 3, Battlefield 4 provides a visceral, dramatic experience unlike any other.
Only in Battlefield can you demolish the buildings shielding your enemy. Only in Battlefield will you lead an assault from the back of a gun boat. Battlefield grants you the freedom to do more and be more while playing to your strengths and carving your own path to victory.
In addition to its hallmark multiplayer, Battlefield 4 features an intense, dramatic character-driven campaign that starts with the evacuation of American VIPs from Shanghai and follows your squad’s struggle to find its way home.
There is no comparison. Immerse yourself in the glorious chaos of all-out war, found only in Battlefield.
