Battlefield 3's Armored Kill Releasing September 4

Armored Kill, the large-scale, vehicle-focused muliplayer add-on for Battlefield 3, releases on PlayStation 3 September 4 for Battlefield Premium members. Xbox 360 and PC Premium members will get the expansion the following week on September 11.

Four new maps, five new vehicles, and a new game mode -- Tank Superiority, a chaotic capture-fest with one control-point -- come included in the Armored Kill add-on. If you're not a member of the paid service, Armored Kill will be available for download on September 18 for PS3 and September 25 on 360 and PC.

Armored Kill's claim to fame is the inclusion of the "biggest map in Battlefield history." This is the third map pack released under the Battlefield Premium banner, with Aftermath coming soon. If you're not currently a member, EA is looking to attract even more Battlefield fans with Battlefield 3: Premium Edition, which also releases in September.

Battlefield 3: Armored Kill Details

EA has revealed new information about Battlefield 3’s upcoming Armored Kill expansion. Armored Kill will include four new maps, including Bandar Desert, the biggest map in Battlefield history. Also included will be new vehicles (including tanks, ATVs and mobile artillery), five new vehicle unlocks for the base game, 20+ new unlocks for the new vehicles and a new game mode called Tank Superiority, which the Battlefield Blog explains as involving tank pilots and infantry using "all their skills to control key points of the maps.”

Armored Kill will keep the player cap at 24 players, and the new maps will all be playable in all six of Battlefield 3’s game modes. Armored Kill is set to arrive in September and, like all Battlefield 3 content, will come to PlayStation 3 one week early.

Armored Kill is the third of five Battlefield 3 downloadable content packs, following December 2011’s Back to Karkand and last month’s Close Quarters. As DICE detailed yesterday, Aftermath will follow (and is currently scheduled for December) and Battlefield 3’s content will conclude with End Game in March 2013.

All five Battlefield 3 packs can be purchased separately, or bought all together for a one-time purchase of $49.99 via Battlefield Premium, which offers unique in-game weapons, priority servers, double XP weekends and new dog tags in addition to early access to all downloadable content at no additional cost. Back in June, EA said that more than 800,000 signed up for Premium in the service’s first two weeks.
