Three days later, the beta will be available for all players worldwide. It will feature the Siege of Shanghai map on the Conquest mode. The beta will be available for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

Also during the briefing, DICE announced the names of the five expansions included with the Battlefield 4 Premium offering, which was announced last week. They are China Rising, Second Assault, Naval Strike, Dragon's Teeth, and Final Stand, which will release in summer 2014.

A Battlefield 4 Premium membership will sell for $50, the same price as a Battlefield 3 Premium subscription. Those with a membership will gain entry to all new content two weeks ahead of everyone else.

DICE also showed off a new map and mode for Battlefield 4 during the briefing. The map is called Paracel Storm, while the new mode is Obliteration. In this game mode, players must carry one bomb to an enemy target and detonate it to win.
