Battlefield 4 News: DICE explains some of the features that you can expect with the new Frostbite 3 engine that will be featured in Battlefield 4.

Battlefield 4 is set to be released later this year on XBox 360, PS3, PC, XBox One and PS4. Earlier today DICE released a new video discussing the engine that will be running Battlefield 4, Frostbite 3. In single-player, gamers will experience huge environments, a playground of destruction, access to an arsenal of vehicles and the ability to direct squad mates. Taking a page from the social aspect of multiplayer gaming, the single-player mode will now track player’s progress, adding an element of persistence and friendly competition to the campaign.

Battlefield 4 multiplayer will see the return of Commander Mode as well as something called “Levolution.” Levolution creates a dynamic and emergent battlefield where gamers can use the environment to their advantage like cutting the power to a building to shroud their enemy in darkness or reducing an entire skyscraper to rubble to alter the battlefield. With Levolution, the environment reacts to the player’s every move and ensures no two games will ever be the same. Commander Mode places two opposing players at the heart of the situation room with a birds-eye view of the battlefield. It’s a tug-of-war match between two commanders as they deliver critical intelligence and powerful assets to their troops below to try and turn the tide of the battle. For the first time, commanders can also take control from their iPad or Android tablet.

Players that pre-order Battlefield 4 will receive the Battlefield 4 China Rising premium digital expansion pack at no additional cost. In this sprawling expansion, players fight for dominance across the vast and majestic Chinese mainland in four massive multiplayer maps, using all-new vehicles and high-tech military equipment. Separately, players that pre-order the Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe exclusively on Origin will receive the base game, bonus in-game digital items, the Battlefield 4 China Rising digital expansion pack and access to the exclusive Battlefield 4 multiplayer beta.

Check out the new trailer below where DICE talks about Frostbite 3 and tell us what you think. Will you pick up Battlefield 4 for Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Xbox One or PS4?
