Battlefield 1943 Set For June Release

DICE's Battlefield 1943 will be released through PSN and Xbox Live on June, according to an announcement sent out by the developer today. PC owners will have to wait a bit longer, unfortunately.

The game will hit the PC in September. The press release also mentions that the price will be 1200 Microsoft Points ($15) - of course, if you're a regular Blend Games reader, you've known that for a couple months already. It's still not known whether the PC version will be a digital-only release or whether there will be boxed copies.

BF 1943 is a multiplayer-only World War II shooter that utilizes the Frostbite Engine of Battlefield: Bad Company to enable destructive environments. It has three Pacific Theater maps inspired by Battlefield 1942 locations and allows battles for up to 24 players at a time.
