It’s a day of delays unfortunately as EA has also announced that Visceral Games’ Battlefield: Hardline has been pushed back to a 2015 release, following in the news of Dragon Age: Inquisition's delay.The cops vs robbers online shooter looked to be on track for its October 21st release date but, following mixed reactions to its post-E3 beta test, Battlefield: Hardline has been pushed back until early 2015 in order to innovate further and differentiate it from previous Battlefield experiences…
Dead Space developer Visceral Games made the decision following feedback from the beta, as DICE VP Karl Magnus Troedsson said they had “learned a lot from players about what they wanted in the game. This feedback also spurred us to start thinking about other possibilities and ways we could push Hardline innovation further and make the game even better. The more we thought about these ideas, the more we knew we had to get them into the game you will all be playing.“However, there was only one problem. We would need more time. Time that we didn’t have if we decided to move forward with launching in just a couple of months.”The extra time will be spent on multiplayer innovation, single-player story depth, and game stability. Long-time Battlefield 4 players will breathe a sigh of relief over that last point, with Visceral reportedly keen to avoid the mistakes that plagued Battlefield 4’s launch.It's unclear how much of this news is affected by the juggernaut that is Destiny, arriving in September. Bungie's giant has been making waves in its beta test and it would be wise to stay out of its way for the time being. As it stands publisher Activision have the holiday season sewn up for shooters, with both Destiny and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare surefire hits.As it stands Battlefield: Hardline is due out in early 2015, but we’ll bring you a more concrete release date as and when we hear it.
