A new promotional poster for Battlefield 4 has spilled the beans on several details about the game, including when the game is expected to come out. The poster is from the Australian video game retailer EB Games, and has the game coming out in Australia on October 31. Since video games in Australia typically come out on a Thursday, that means gamers here in America can expect the game on that Tuesday, October 29, as games here release on that day.
The poster can be found here at BF4Central, and mentions several details about the game. The poster mentions the previously rumored return of Commander Mode, saying "Rank up into the seat of the brand new Commander Mode and lead your team to victory."
In addition, the Poster also mentions that Battlelog 2.0 will be included in the game, allowing users to "Track every shot, every opponent, every detail of your online Battlefield career..."
Gamers are also encouraged to "Go Platinum," meaning subscribe to some sort of DLC. The only DLC listed is the Drone Strike DLC, which has no release date.
Battlefield 4 was announced at the Game Developers Conference at the end of March, with a 17 minute gameplay video shown off to eager fans. However, that announcement did not include a release date for the game, nor did it elaborate on the rumors that the game will also be appearing on next-gen consoles. So far the game only has been confirmed for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. The game uses the Frostbite 3 engine, so no matter what system players use it is sure to be a superb looking game.
While this could very well be accurate information, given that it lists many details that have been rumored for the game, it may be a false advertisement. After all, it is hard to confirm an Australian advertisement poster as being real, let alone accurate.
