EA and DICE announces Battlefield Heroes™, an all-new ‘Play 4 Free’ cartoon-style shooter that will bring classic Battlefield gameplay to an all new audience and setting. Its fun cartoon-style graphics and gameplay caters to players of all skill levels.

It is easy to pick up and play but with robust character customization and a deep online meta-game, gamers can spend hours building up their characters and conquering the world.

“There’s something here for all types of players -- be it our core Battlefield fans or casual gamers. With the new online model, we will continually add new content to keep the game fresh and keep players engaged, while integrating player feedback in real time. As a game developer, it is such a cool new way to make games.”
Ben Cousins, Senior Producer

Battlefield Heroes is being developed by DICE in the Stockholm studio and will be EA’s first title that is offered completely for free. It will be released for the PC as a free download in summer 2008.

Battlefield Heroes Developer Q&A

NVIDIA: Is this BF3?
DICE: No, Battlefield Heroes is not Battlefield 3. Battlefield Heroes is one of many Battlefield games in development by DICE. They have not made any announcements regarding Battlefield 3.

NVIDIA: How is this different than any other game out there?
DICE: It’s mainly different because it’s FREE! But this is also a new take on Battlefield games. Battlefield Heroes combines the classic sandbox gameplay of the Battlefield series, but loads of new stuff - a fun, over-the-top setting and art style, simpler controls and interface, and a deep character development and customization system. Because it is download for free and ‘Play 4 Free’, it really changes the approach to game development. New content can be added to the game at any time, and DICE can respond to the community’s feedback with tweaks and changes to make the game YOU want to play.
