Despite announcing that all Battlefield 3 multiplayer expansion would arrive a week earlier on PlayStation 3, DICE has today revealed that the first add-on, Back to Karkand, will in fact hit all the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC on the same date.

Battlefield 3′s first expansion pack, Back to Karkand, will be available in December, developer DICE has announced. The DLC pack will include four maps from Battlefield 2, remade in the game’s new Frostbite 2 engine. Gulf of Oman, Shargi Peninsula, Strike at Karkand, and Wake Island will all be included in the bundle.

In addition, the expansion pack includes Conquest Assault, and new “assignments” to complete for unlocks.

A voucher for DLC access is included with all early copies of the game with the “Limited Edition” moniker printed on it. If you didn’t pre-order, you’ll be able to download the map pack for $14.99, or 1200 Microsoft Points.
