EA and Dice have announced today that Battlefield 1943 will be available this June on XBLA and PSN at a price of 1200 Microsoft Points or $15; the game will also hit PC in September for $15 as well. Battlefield 1943 will offer endless fun in 24 player multiplayer battles on some of the favorite maps inspired by Battlefield 1942. The maps have been re-created and updated using the new Frostbite engine and destructibility technology.
“Using the same Frostbite engine that we developed for Battlefield: Bad Company, we are able to take players back to WWII and return to the roots of the Battlefield franchise, but with a new twist – destruction,” said Gordon Van Dyke, Producer on Battlefield 1943. “We want to offer gamers the most accessible online shooter experience and the best value found in any premium download title with Battlefield 1943.”
Now may be a good time to renew that PSN credit card or head out and stock up on Microsoft Points.
