“Battlefield 4” expansion pack “Naval Strike” will go on general sale April 15. Though “Battlefield” Premium subscribers already had access to the DLC following some delays on the Xbox One and PC, “Naval Strike” will be available to everyone in mid-April.

Four all-new maps are included in “Naval Strike” – “Lost Islands,” “Nansha Strike,” “Wave Breaker” and “Operation Mortar.”

“All that you’ve come to love with naval warfare in ‘Battlefield 4’ will be even more intense and fast-paced in ‘Battlefield 4 Naval Strike,’” EA DICE lead gameplay designer Gustav Halling said last month. “Whether you’ll be taking insane shortcuts with your Hovercraft or securing a narrow win in Carrier Assault, it’s our ambition that you’ll truly enjoy the all-out war in the South China Sea.”

On March 25, “Naval Strike” was delayed on the PC due to unresolved issues.

“Quality is our No. 1 priority and we will not release ‘Battlefield 4 Naval Strike’ on PC until we feel it meets the highest quality level possible,” EA DICE, which is owned by Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA), said on its official “BF4” blog last week. “Once we have a confirmed date for PC, we’ll be sure to update those players on our official channels.”
