Steve Papoutsis has confirmed that the second beta for Battlefield: Hardline - this one for all available platforms - is set to roll out this fall. The game's executive producer also confirmed that there's to be plenty of new information regarding the cops and robbers-themed shooter coming in the months ahead.
"If you didn't get a chance to play the Battlefield Hardline beta this time around don't worry, we have your back as we'll be launching another beta this fall on all announced platforms that will showcase more. Stay tuned to hear more later this year."
We have a lot of cool things up our sleeve, but we also have a lot of hard work ahead of us. It's an electric time all of us here at Visceral, and we're pumped to tell you more about the game over the months ahead."
Papoutsis also posted that: "In the months ahead we'll be revealing more details about what we're doing in multiplayer as well as what the team at Visceral is bringing to the singleplayer campaign. As many of you know from previous Visceral games, we have a unique way of telling our stories and engrossing players in our worlds, and Hardline will be no different. We are doing some cool new things in how we present the campaign, similar to what you see when watching episodes of your favorite TV shows. It's something different and we're fired up about it. Keep your eyes out for more on this next month."
And, of course, there's multiplayer, the staple of any Battlefield game. The Battlefield Hardline beta was just a small portion of what is in store. We have plenty of new modes in the game that really play off the cop and criminal theme, as well as the return of fan-favorites. The variety in maps is also something that Battlefield fans have never experienced before, from subterranean grow labs to the streets of Miami, complete with all the vibe and flavor that city has to offer."
We played the game during the beta, and will be offering our thoughts on Visceral's take on the Battlefield formula sometime next week, so stay tuned for that. You can also check out our interview with Hardline's creative director by heading this way.
