DICE has revealed new details about Battlefield 3’s Aftermath downloadable content. According to the game’s official site, Aftermath is set in Tehran, Iran in the aftermath of an earthquake and depicts “a continuing struggle for supremacy and survival amongst the devastation.” The content will include vertical and horizontal urban combat, as players seek cover in the cracks and fissures caused by the quake. “Heavily modified” troop transports and civilian vehicles “specially adapted to deliver deadly force to the enemy” will also be included.
Aftermath will add four new maps and a new game mode, as well as new assignments, achievements and dog tags. While no official release date is listed, EA said the content would arrive in December when Aftermath was announced during E3. As with all Battlefield 3 downloadable content, it will arrive one week early on PlayStation 3.

Aftermath will be the fourth of five Battlefield 3 add-ons, following the release of Back to Karkand in December 2011, Close Quarters last month and September’s upcoming Armored Kill. Battlefield 3’s downloadable content will conclude in March 2013 with the release of the fifth pack, End Game.
While each pack is available separately, access to all five packs is available for a one-time $49.99 purchase through Battlefield Premium. Premium offers members early access to downloadable content at no additional cost as well as access to unique in-game weapons, priority servers, double XP weekends and new dog tags.
EA announced last month that Battlefield 3 Premium brought in more than 800,000 members in its first two weeks of availability.
