According to alleged leaks on Chipell forums Battlefield 4 will run at 720 P and 60 FPS on next generation consoles and is set in China as reported by WCCF Tech.
The site goes on to note that many of these details will be included in next month's issue of Edge magazine. While EA will reveal first footage and details of the title at the Games Developer Conference on March 26th-27th.
Battlefield 4 is being developed on Frostbite 2.5 and features Destruction 4.0 – allowing for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 style effects – tessellation and dynamic weather affects. As with Battlefield 3 the next entry in the series' primary platform will be PC. Earlier reports had suggested DICE were aiming for 1080 P and 30 FPS on PS4 and Xbox 720. The PC version of the game will include DirectX 11 compatibility.
Each map in the game will be subject to various weather conditions including fog, sandstorms, rain and haze with these being completely random according to the leak.
The game is believed to be set in China during 2020 and will feature three factions, China, the United States and the PLA. The title's single player campaign is expected to run in at just 5-6 hours.
Battlefield 4's multiplayer maps are thought to include Diaoyu Island, Tianamen, Shanghai Bund, Xizhimen and Xizhimen Rush. The series' Commander system is expected to make a return while the skill system has been significantly overhauled. The game will feature microtransactions though they will not affect the balance of the game.
The title's DLC will bring four maps to the game; Dalian Power Station, Daping Oil Field, The Great Wall of China and classic series map Wake Island.
Last week the game's box art was also allegedly leaked.
