Codemasters has announced that Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, the highly anticipated military sandbox shooter, will be released in the UK on October 9 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

In Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising players take the role of US Marines and Special Forces operatives dispatched to take back the oil-rich Russian island of Skira from an invading force of Chinese PLA.

The game features a 220km island in which players are left to make their own choices, deploy their own tactics and fight war on their own terms.
