Battlefield 4 DLC: Naval Strike Release Date for Non-Premium Subscribers Announced

By Jay Michael, Christian Post Contributor

Battlefield 4 Naval Strike DLC will be launching on April 15 for non-premium members announced a tweet by the video game's social media account.

The expansion previously came out on March 25 for the PS3, PS4, and Xbox 360. The Xbox One version was launched on the 28th because "issues in the animation system that hinder players from engaging targets in set circumstances using popular weapon configurations," DICE wrote on their site. Lastly, the PC version was released on March 31. These were all made available to premium subscribers.

Naval Strike DLC contains unique features, including changing weather patterns, dusk to dawn fights, and of course, a hovercraft.

"There'll be calm seas, stormy weather and many other weather effects," a post on the Battlefield Blog said. "For instance, on the Mortar Strike map, you'll start fighting at dawn and the map will be lit up by the resort lights. As the fight rages on, the sunrise will drench the tropical island in beautiful sunlight."

On the blog, the Battlefield 4 creators discussed some of the functions of the new DLC, including the hovercraft.

"The new hovercraft, or ACV, is a very fast transport vehicle with a driver and a passenger position that travels seamless between water and land. This unique ability has many advantages; you can for instance maneuver away from boats by short cutting through an island instead of going around it. These new abilities are exciting for us to bring to our players and I can't wait to see what crazy stuff we will see from this vehicle in the game!" they wrote.

Naval Strike's Carrier Assault Mode will be a throwback to Titan Mode in Battlefield 2142.

The DLC will take place in the South China Sea, and involve two teams attacking each others aircraft carriers, reported Polygon. The battle takes place on three fronts.
