After several looks at the maps, environments, new weapons and the like for Battlefield 4's next DLC, Naval Strike, it's finally been revealed when players will be able to try their hands at it. A new trailer is out from publisher EA showing that Premium players get access to the map pack next week, March 25. Everyone else will have to wait 'til April 8.
Beyond the release info, the trailer also has a rather dramatic look at the re-imagination of Battlefield 2142's Titan Mode, Carrier Assault. Check it out below, and read on more information on the mode here.
DICE had previously offered up scant details on Naval Strike in a Battlelog post last month.
As written in the post, "In this expansion, you'll experience intense water-based combat as the Chinese armada takes the fight to the sea. You'll have access to new weapons, gadgets, and amphibious vehicles, and four all-new maps - Lost Island, Nansha Strike, Wave Breaker, and Operation Mortar."
Battlefield.com's Expansion section had a bit more to offer:
"Battlefield 4 Naval Strike takes the intense and dramatic water-based combat introduced in Battlefield 4 to four all-new maps set in the South China Sea. Blow open a crashed passenger plane and capture fishing villages across the tropical Lost Islands. Drop a submarine on your foes as you infiltrate a naval base or rush between shipping docks and rocky islands on the massive Wave Breaker map. Wage war across stormy seas in the largest ocean stretch in a Battlefield map yet with Nansha Strike. Storm an abandoned cliff-side resort, or get lost in the breathtaking vistas in Operation Mortar.
Key Features
* 4 all-new multiplayer maps set in the South China Sea: Lost Islands, Nansha Strike, Wave Breaker & Operation Mortar
* 5 weapons all-new to Battlefield 4
* Introducing the amphibious hovercraft vehicle
* 2 additional gadgets - 3GL (3 grenade launcher) attachment for the Assault class, and the Anti-Heli Mine; an aircraft disabling projectile for the Engineer class
After Naval Strike releases, two more DLC packs are scheduled for a release this summer - Dragon's Teeth and Final Stand. Information for Dragon's Teeth is already starting to creep out.
