DICE has released the first official campaign details for 'Battlefield 4' in anticipation of it's explosive release this year for Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4 and PC.


In Battlefield 4's single player campaign players step into the shoes of Sergeant Daniel Recker, a member of Tombstone squad and embark on missions across the world in locations like Shanghai, Singapore, and Azerbaijan, DICE said. In one part of the campaign, players need to rescue VIPs, among them a CIA field operative known as Laszlo W. Kovic.

While on a mission to collect intelligence from a defecting Russian General in Baku, Azerbaijan, your squad is discovered and you must fight your way through waves of Russian troops in order to escape. Upon getting back to the USS Valkyrie, a Wasp class carrier, the intelligence you’ve retrieved confirms previous suspicions. The Chinese Admiral Chang is planning a coup in China, and if this happens, the Russians would back him up.

With this intel secure, the USS Valkyrie sets a course for Shanghai. You and Tombstone squad are sent on a covert mission into the city to extract a group of VIP’s. China is in uproar after the U.S. has been implicated in the assassination of Jin Jié, the future leader and voice for peace in China. Admiral Chang has canceled elections and martial law has been declared. As U.S. and Russian naval forces position themselves off the coast of China, and the situation quickly escalates into a stare down akin to a tinderbox waiting for a spark.

In Shanghai, protestors clash with police as the streets are filled with chaos and turmoil. Tombstone manages to find the VIP’s, among them a CIA field operative known as Laszlo W. Kovic. With him is a mysterious individual that the Chinese military has been franticly searching for. Together with Kovic you fight your way out of Shanghai and back to the Valkyrie as countless civilians flee the city, many of which are brought aboard the Valkyrie as refugees. With communications dead, the Valkyrie sets course for Singapore to rendezvous with the USS Titan and the 7th US carrier group at their last known position. As you reach Singapore you are shocked to find a horrific scene of fire and mayhem. The flagship is sunk and its fleet is eradicated, and from this point on nothing is certain.


Battlefield 4, the next entry in the explosive first-person shooter franchise developed by DICE, will be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on October 29th in North America and on November 1st in Europe and Australasia.

A release date for next-generation consoles should be coming soon. Until then, browse through all of our Xbox 360 and Xbox One coverage of Battlefield 4 via 360-HQ.COM and XBOXONE-HQ.COM. Oh, and don't forget to come and join our online matches.
