Battlefield 4 China Rising expansion now available for Premium members

China Rising, the first expansion for Battlefield 4, is now available for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, and PC. Those of you who are Battlefield 4 Premium members can download the new expansion which adds four new maps, the Air Superiority game mode, two new vehicles, and a slew of other new weapons and gadgets.

Before we get to the newly released trailer, here are the official descriptions of the four new maps in China Rising:

• Silk Road: Storm giant sand dunes and rocky cliffs in this massive map.
• Altai Range: Engage across land and air while fighting for control of the mountains.
• Guilin Peaks: Take on the enemy in close quarter combat inside tight-knit caves amidst the iconic peaks of Guilin.
• Dragon Pass: Bring the fight to Dragon Pass, a re-imagining of the classic Battlefield 2™ map Dragon Valley, adding new naval vehicles to help traverse its forking rivers and islands.

For those who are not Premium members, Battlefield 4 China Rising will be available starting December 17 and will cost $14.99. If you plan on getting this, and future expansions, you might as well just become a Premium member as it also provides you with early access to themed expansion packs, new weekly content, and exclusive personalization options.

Coinciding with today's launch, DICE also released a new game update for the PC version. Unfortunately, the PS4 update has been delayed.
