EA announce Battlefield: Bad Company can now be liberated from store shelves.

Landing on the shores of retailland June 25th for North America, June 26th in Australia is Battlefield: Bad Company

EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) have produced what promises to be a deep single player campaign loaded with dark humor, intense combat and deafening destruction.

Ohhhh! “deafening destruction”, my favourite kind.

Players take on the role of Preston Marlowe, a young soldier whose antics land him in the division with the highest mortality rate alongside other troublemakers Sarge, Haggard and Sweetwater. Players will tackle harsh terrain and fierce enemies with their squad of renegade soldiers as they search for an elusive treasure using dozens of vehicles, weapons and deadly toys all at their disposal for explosive experimentation.

Gamers can also jump online for some intense multiplayer action, as players become either an attacker or defender in the Gold Rush multiplayer mode as they protect or destroy crates that hold precious gold and their ticket home.  As gamers embark on their quest for financial freedom, they'll experience the same classic Battlefield gameplay including access to numerous vehicles, weapons and open maps as well as the new tactical destruction that only Battlefield: Bad Company can deliver. The popular Conquest mode made famous by the Battlefield franchise will be offered as a free download* later this [southern] winter.

Battlefield: Bad Company is available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
