The download-only first-person shooter Battlefield 1943 will release July 8th and 9th on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network respectively, Electronic Arts has announced.

The multiplayer game will host up to 24 players per match, spanning across two game modes and four maps. Developers DICE are using technology from the Battlefield: Bad Company franchise that allows for destructible environments and "vehicular warfare," says EA in a statement.

Players can choose to side with the U.S. Marines or the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. The game will sell for $15, or 1200 Microsoft points. Battlefield 1943 will also release on PCs in September.
