Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising will challenge players to survive the chaos and rapidly
evolving situations of modern warfare in a new contemporary theatre.

Players will experience the intensity, diversity and claustrophobia of a present day conflict from
the unique perspectives of an infantry marine and a Special Forces officer, each engaged
against the full force of the Chinese PLA on the huge open-world island of Skira. Gameplay
simulates an immense conflict between advanced forces and provides unparalleled scope with
different military disciplines, vehicles and equipment for players to utilise.

of multi-component, multi-weapon vehicles, including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, APCs,
attack and utility helicopters. The character damage system authentically depicts the terrible
wounds and injury from modern weapons to communicate the lethality of combat.

handle military crisis situations on their initiative. Unscripted missions will task players with
real objectives, such as laying down covering fire, covering a friendly unit’s retreat or
conducting short-range recon patrol. Armed with cutting edge military hardware, players will

north of Japan. This oil-rich Russian-controlled island stands on the brink of war. An
airborne division of the People’s Liberation Army of China (PLA) lands to claim the island as
the sovereign possession of the People’s Republic. Russia turns to the US for support aid
and they’re quick to respond. Sending in the USS Iwo Jima, a battalion of US Marines
launch an assault on the strung out but dug-in Chinese force. Can the situation be defused
before this flashpoint turns white hot and an all-out global war between the superpowers
erupts?

decisions on how to best accomplish missions. Densely packed with environment detail and
