The battle for survival wages on! Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) today
announced that Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike* is currently in
development for the PC. The booster pack is being developed at EA
Digital Illusions (DICE) studio in Stockholm, Sweden and is slated for
release in March 2007.
Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike drops
gamers deep into a desperate conflict for control of Earth’s last
scraps of inhabitable land following the onset of a cataclysmic new ice
age. The Pan-Asian Coalition (PAC) has secretly moved into mainland
Europe, using abandoned urban areas to establish new strongholds in a
last-ditch push for superiority. The European Union must quickly
mobilize north to dislodge PAC forces from a series of urban
strongholds and regain the upper hand.
Battlefield 2142:
Northern Strike features three new maps, including the infamous WWII
battle scene at the Bridge at Remagen, an Alpine Titan docking harbour
in Port Bavaria and a claustrophobic showdown in the Liberation of
Leipzig. The booster pack also features new vehicles including the EU’s
heavily armed IFV Goliath and the PAC’s hovering light IFV Hachimoto in
addition to new unlocks, new badges and ribbons, new gameplay and more.
“Our
number one goal with Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike was to give fans
more of the close-quarters combat, increased persistence and new toys
they’ve been asking for,” said Kristoffer Bergqvist, the booster pack’s
producer. “We’ve also added gameplay enhancements including two brand
new vehicle types in an asymmetrical set-up. Furthermore, we’re
introducing the Titan game mode available into an urban setting and
will debut the intensified Conquest Assault Lines game mode.”
