EA confirms Battlefield Hardline, more details at E3 [update]

[Bald Bouncer]

Battlefield Hardline is official and coming this fall, and EA's promo image adds weight to a cops-and-robbers outing for the typically military series. Responding swiftly to yesterday's leak, EA says it'll unveil the upcoming game at its E3 conference next month. It's confirmed the developer is Dead Space studio Visceral Games rather than DICE. The assets found in the new Battlelog point to four character classes, modes that include Blood Money and Bomb Squad, and a map called Downtown. Similarly, EA's image features SWAT logos, masked gunmen and piles of filthy lucre. There's no word on platforms but we expect EA will share that info when it unveils Hardline on June 9.



Update: Or maybe we won't have to wait to see more of Hardline. A 7-minute gameplay video posted this morning (and swiftly removed) looked like a leaked reveal trailer under an "Omaha" codename. It described Heist, Rescue, Hotwire and Bloodmoney multiplayer modes, and a single-player campaign revolving around police corruption and drug cartel. Also, an EA post confirms Visceral as the developer and the release window as "this fall."

The trailer's re-emerged online, and (for now) you can find it below the break.

Hmmmm
Get message "This video is Private"

Take it we weren't meant to see it.

Seems a bit like Battlefield meets Grand Theft Auto to me with a bit of Watchdogs thrown in, not quite sure how it will turn out but have always liked the Dead Space developers stuff

That looks pretty good, at least they seem to be trying to keep it fresh, as opposed to the COD series which is very same old, same old.

BF4 still full of glitches (not so bad on XB1) terrible on the 360, you'd think they'd bloody fix that before even trying to bring out a follow up.

This looks amazing. Is it next gen only this time?

You'd hope so wouldn't you?
If I was there when they announced it I'd be booing like fuck if it wasn't exclusive to next gen.
mind you, it's EA and they really are the whoremongers of the gaming world.
I honestly can't see them excluding 360 owners. It's still a massive market despite the XB1

I just feel everything is being held back atm with developers insisting they have last gen versions.

Look BF, looked Dead space too.. hopefully good

After what visceral did with dead space 3 I wouldn't hold my breath on it. That game was probably one of the worse cash grabbing games I've seen in a while.
