The Battlefield 4 development team previously teased that the game's upcoming Night Operations update would hit sometime in September. Now it appears that the team is wasting zero time, because DICE has revealed that the update will arrive on September 1.

The announcement hit the Battlefield 4 forums just a short time ago. Two-hour chunks of downtime are expected to be staggered across all of the game's platforms to prepare for deployment, starting with Xbox One at 12AM PT. From there, the update will roll out to PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

The Summer Update will add Zavod: Graveyard Shift, as well as add some netcode improvements, new audio, balance tweaks, and more. Specific fixes will be outlined when the patch notes are released tomorrow. For more on the Night Operations update, check out our recent interview with DICE producer David Sirland.

Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
