Report: Battlefield 4 banned in China

[Cohhilitionbot]

The Chinese government has banned Battlefield 4 in the country following the release of the China Rising expansion, the Wall Street Journal reports. The game was banned over "national security" reasons.

EA declined to comment when contacted by the Wall Street Journal. We have also reached out to EA and will update this post accordingly.

The Battlefield 4 single-player campaign takes place during 2020, when a Chinese admiral initiates a plan to overthrow the government. The China Rising expansion features a variety of new maps, vehicles and an additional gametype, all set on the Chinese mainland.
