Battlefield Hardline’s spell in the slammer appears to be coming to an end, as publisher EA Games has announced as part of an investors meeting overnight that the Visceral Games developed first-person shooter will be put on probation soon. Following its delay earlier in the year, the release will now walk free on 17th March in North America and 19th March in Europe.
The game was originally due out in October, but after a less than stellar beta, the Californian company decided that a few more months at cop school would probably help the release to shine. Given the disastrous state of predecessor Battlefield 4, we suspect that that was probably a good move. Also, to be honest, there are already far too many games to try.
Will you be playing cops and robbers when this release arrives in the New Year? Detain us with some of those fluffy handcuffs in the comments section below.

Is it me or is the whole Battlefield format getting a little tired now, even with this new twist?
They need to give it a holiday for a while 😉
I think the campaign actually looks interesting but there is zero chance I'll be picking it up.
NONE interest at all. I loved 1942 and Vietnam, but this is utter crap. And... I'm boycotting EA, so they can go and bury their copy in some desert...
@Lateralus68 Unfortunately, every time they release a game, 10s of millions of people disagree with you. So they keep making them.
I'll reserve judgement just now im a battlefield fan and think this could be fun also nice to see they aint just rushing it out it does have potential😕
Ive liked the battlefield games from pc days when dice made the 1st major change to the game with there add on. Im actually looking forward to this new change gutted got put back to march but can only mean it will be better
