The seemingly forever in development Battlefield 3 will finally break cover on March 1st, when Electronic Arts and developer DICE unveil the title for the very first time at GDC 2011.

The publisher confirmed that the title will get a full media unveiling at the event which will likely mean a thoroughly pant wet worthy trailer, hands on impressions and hopefully an assortment of in-game videos and images.

Previously assumed to be a PC title only, EA/DICE announced last Summer that the highly anticipated would be coming to the 360 and PS3 home console platforms as well.

Additionally those of you who plonked down the cash for EA’s mediocre Medal Of Honor reboot back in October, actually have a silver lining in the form of a Battlefield 3 multiplayer beta invite for your chosen format. No details on the beta have been released as of yet, but like all things Battlefield 3, I would expect clarification on this at the media briefing.

Battlefield 3 is expected to ship sometime in 2011 on PC, 360 and PS3 platforms.
