EA Launches Official Battlefield Hardline Website, First Footage coming on June 9, Launches Fall 2014

EA has already popped the lid on their next Battlefield game, a couple of weeks ahead of their E3 press conference, and has given the first bit of details on what to expect this fall.



Following today’s earlier leaks, EA has launched the official website for their upcoming shooter, confirming “Battlefield Hardline” as the project’s official title.

The page also indicates that an official unveiling will take place during EA’s E3 2014 media briefing on Jun 9 at noon PST.

Officially confirming a Fall release date, Visceral Games General Manager Steve Papoutsis talked about Battlefield Hardline in a letter to fans.

"On behalf of everyone at EA and Visceral Games, I’m fired up to confirm our next project – Battlefield Hardline. The game launches this fall and it’s a brand new series in the Battlefield franchise, set against the backdrop of a genre we all love – the war on crime and the battle between cops and criminals.
Several years ago, I was at an internal EA meeting in Barcelona with creative leaders from across the company. It was there I met Karl Magnus Troedsson, the GM of DICE, for the first time, and we immediately began talking about games – I’ve always loved Battlefield and KM was a huge fan of Dead Space, which I was working on at the time. We started talking about different ways we could work together, different ways we could take Battlefield and action games in a new direction. It was then that this project that became Battlefield Hardline was born.
There’s been a lot of buzz today about Battlefield Hardline – we’re getting ready for E3 and fans found some details on our website about what we’re working on for the show. We’ve been reading all of your comments and we’re excited to be going into more detail soon on the ways we’re adding new twists and turns to the foundation of Battlefield multiplayer and more about how we’re bringing our strengths at Visceral to single player."
