DICE has confirmed that all future DLC released for Battlefield 4 will be free for all players.
DICE LA producer David Sirland confirmed (via BF4Central) that all future DLC will be free for both Premium and non-Premium members. Upcoming content includes new maps, a new game mode, and new weapons.
First up is the game’s spring update, which will add the Gun Master game mode—a free-for-all deathmatch where players start with the same gun and unlock new weapons with each kill—and five new weapons, including the AN-94 and Groza-1 assault rifles.
Following this, DICE will release a Night Map update, which will add nighttime variations of several maps, including Siege of Shanghai, Zavod 311, and Golmud Railway. The Battlefield 4 Community Map and an unannounced map remake from an earlier Battlefield game are also in the works.
