Battlefield Hardline plays cops and robbers starting today

The latest title in the Battlefield series, Hardline has hit stores and digital download services.

Powered by Frostbite 3 and following a whole new line of action, Battlefield Hardline plays out its campaign as though it’s a police procedural TV show, but one loaded with action of course. This should be the most in-depth campaign experience in the formerly military-centric series, as DICE put a focus on it this time around and stacked it with an all star cast including “Alexandra Daddario from True Detective, Kelly Hu from Arrow, Wendy Calhoun from Justified, and Benito Martinez from House of Cards”. You’ll play as Miami detective Nick Mendoza, as you try and navigate the criminal underworld in both Miami and LA.

As for that famed Battlefield multiplayer, fans should’t worry too much about that aspect either as that should be intact and then some.

“Our goal with Battlefield Hardline was to create the most complete first-person shooter this year by building upon the unrivaled multiplayer franchise DICE created and adding a memorable single player experience with storylines and characters that fans will care about just like they would their favorite TV show,” said Steve Papoutsis, General Manager of Visceral Games and Executive Producer of Battlefield Hardline. “We’ve added a new level of strategy, speed and storytelling to one of the greatest franchises in the history of videogames. We’re incredibly excited for players to get their hands on it.”

Battlefield Hardline is in stores and on download servers now in North America for the Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. The game will be on the way to European audiences on March 19th and int he hands of UK gamers on the 20th.
