Back to Karkand DLC from Battlefield 3 Dated

A post on the Official Battlefield Blog brings word that the ‘Back to Karkand’ DLC for Battlefield 3 will be hitting the PlayStation 3 on Tuesday, December 6. The content will then be made available for Xbox 360 and PC players a week later on December 13, 2011.

Here’s a description of the content:

Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand is a huge expansion pack featuring four legendary Battlefield maps (Wake Island, Sharqi Peninsula, Gulf of Oman, and Strike at Karkand) reimagined in the Frostbite 2 engine. Three new vehicles (the VSTOL fighter jet, Desert Buggy, and an APC), ten new weapons that you can bring back to the base game, and a new layer of persistence with our all-new Assignments make this a must-have for any Battlefield fan.

If you picked up the Limited Edition of Battlefield 3 at launch then you’ll get this content for free. If not, you’ll have to fork over $15 (or the MS Space Bucks equivalent) to go back to Karkand.
