Battlefield 3 is still going strong according to Electronic Arts. Â The company revealed the vital statistics for DICE’s popular multiplayer shooter, claiming that players are very much “still engaged” with the release from last October. Â Released on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, Battlefield 3 is getting set to see even more interest as DICE is readying the release of the first DLC packs since “Back to Karkand” arrived earlier this year.
“Battlefield 3 had a record year,” says EA. Â “Establishing itself as one of EA’s premier game services and in the process successfully took share in the growing FPS market. Â Battlefield 3 players are still deeply engaged – 6.3 million MAUs in March. Â New content downloads will be available in May and June.”
The first Battlefield 3 expansion had been announced to arrive in June with DICE’s “Close Quarters” content pack. Â Perhaps the company is planning on releasing the PS3 timed exclusive content later this month? Â That’s the only plausible reason that EA would announce the content set for both May and June.
