Battlefield 4 release date set as October 29 – rumour

20130402_battlefield_4

Microsoft may have accidentally let slip a solid release date for Battlefield 4. According to NeoGAF and GamingEverything, a post on the Xbox forums originally gave an October 29 release date before being edited. We didn’t sight the slip ourselves, unfortunately, and nobody has screen-grabbed it. Battlefield 4 is officially headed to PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in northern autumn. No word on a next-gen release.

Thanks, StrategyInformer.

Battlefield 4 art reveals Shanghai cityscape, two new “faces”

BF4 shanghai

Enough people have signed up for the Battlefield 4 website to confirm Shanghai as one of the locations in the game. This was pretty much outed not long after the official art for the game leaked earlier this month. We tried logging in to look ourselves, but Orign is giving us a password fit at the moment, so head over to PCgamesN for another look at it instead. The site also has “two new faces” revealed, and the Twitter account teased “Who is Hanna?” We’ll be having a look at the game on March 26 offsite at GDC, and the official public announcement will be made by EA the following day.

Sam and I will be there, and will report what we learned as fast as possible – providing there isn’t an embargo. The second trailer teases a land battle, courtesy of AGB. Likely one for air battles is next – and then maybe even space. We jest.
