Season 2 of Battlefest, a special Battlefield 4 event that celebrates fans — both new and old — of the long-running shooter series, begins anew this week.

Battlefield developer DICE has announced today that the studio is kicking things off with five days Double XP and weekly Gold Battlepacks for anyone who logs in on a Saturday. Double XP runs now through to Monday, November 10 on all platforms while the first and last free Gold Battlepack arrives this Saturday, November 8, and Saturday, December 6, respectively.

In addition to a “special announcement” taking place later today at 6PM PST, new Dog Tags will also be available through upcoming community events themed around Visceral Games’ upcoming Battlefield game, Hardline. More details are to follow, says DICE.
