Battlefield 4 seems to be getting a DLC pack that will take place exclusively at night time.

The pack, named Night Operations features a different approach to combat in Battlefield 4, giving players the challenges of the darkness to work with.

The first new map we’ve seen, named Zavod: Graveyard Shift, is based on existing BF4 map Zavod 311. Despite taking inspiration from 311, Graveyard Shift is described in a blog post as a “new map that brings with it several improvements and tweaks to allow for more stealthy and tactical gameplay.”

The night offers more challenge than simply giving players less light to spot enemies with.  It is now much easier to flank opponents and gadgets may now reflect from light sources.  Players can also take out light sources, further adding to the challenge.

Night Operations will also bring some weapons tweaks and improvements to public matchmaking.  Not much detail was given, but it can be assumed it may stop games from being unbalanced by a sudden surge of players joining.

Night Operations is due in September with further details to follow.
