'Battlefield 4: Legacy Operations' release date, gameplay & trailer: Dragon Valley coming to PS4, Xbox One, PC

"Battlefield 4: Legacy Operations" adds the classic map Dragon Valley and will be released via the free DLC, according to the game maker Dice.

The announcement was made on the official website of the game. The free Legacy Operations DLC will roll out together with an update which means there will be two downloads available during the Holiday Update this year. It will be playable on PS4, Xbox One and PC. The Dragon Valley 2015 map was originally from "Battlefield 2" and was considered to be one of the largest maps in the game. The game maker has improved and "modernized" it to fit "today's standards."

"We tackled this in several ways: first we increased the terrain verticality to closer mimic a real life Chinese river valley -- and to give us more terrain occlusion for long distances, especially on the central island," the gamemakers wrote. "We also added a dynamic cloud layer, which not only adds a welcomed air-to-ground separation in terms of gameplay, but also helps shroud far distances at ground level.

"This has the added bonus effect of allowing you to have intense aerial firefights above the cloud level, which looks really, really cool in Battlefield 4."

However, the bridges that players were able to destroy or repair were left as is because players can take this to their advantage to use. Furthermore, they added more flags for the Conquest Assault gameplay and added Rush mode.

The free DLC came after almost a year when DICE made a poll asking players which maps they'd like to see in "Battlefield 4." The announcement also came a few months after the gamemakers released a free map last Sept., according to Slash Gear.

However, Game Spot reports that the DLC will not be playable in older consoles such as the Xbox 360 and PS3. But this does not mean that Electronic Arts will not be rolling out support for the platforms.

"We really wanted to push the envelope with Dragon Valley 2015, and that meant being able to make a bigger level, with a larger scale than anything currently in Battlefield 4. Because of that, we made the decision to focus on the more powerful platforms," the company explained. "This doesn't mean we're no longer supporting players on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 with critical updates when needed, but we really wanted to try something big for Dragon Valley, and we think that when you play it, you'll see the difference."
