Electronic Arts has announced that authors Andy McNab and Peter Grimsdale are working on an official novel to go along with the upcoming shooter, Battlefield 3. Battlefield 3: The Russian will tell the back-story of RU Special Forces operator Dima, one of the hero soldiers featured in the Battlefield 3 single-player campaign narrative.
“It is impossible for any single medium to fully capture the emotion and intensity of war. The Battlefield 3: The Russian novel is one window into the experience, and the game is another. They complement each other perfectly,” said Andy McNab. “Working with DICE has been a fantastic ride. Battlefield 3 is going to surprise people this autumn. The story, the characters, the world and the intense action come together to create a resonant, memorable experience.”
Battlefield 3: The Russian will be available on October 28, 2011.
