The Battlefield: Hardline plot has been detailed, with the broad strokes revealed at Comic-Con, with Visceral's narrative consultant, Wendy Calhoun, explaining the details.
"We start off with the narrative of two cops who are good cops, and one really wants to prove himself," Calhoun revealed (via Polygon). "Eventually the tables turn on them, and they are set up by another group and become criminals themselves. They've got to fight their way out of prison, and turn the tables on the people who put them there."
Eugene Byrd (Bones) and Kelly Hu (Nash Bridges), Benito Martinez (Sons of Anarchy) and Mark Rolston (The Shield) are among those who are lending their vocal talents to the project.
A video broadcast at Comic-Con showed an undercover team getting into trouble in a criminal warehouse somewhere in the desert, before the characters were set up and sent to the slammer, where they then had to turn to the criminal underworld in order to get their revenge.
Performance director Bill Johnson also commented on the game's recent delay, saying that they're "happy" about it, and that they'll get more time. Creative director Ian Milham was also there, and he added that the delay "is a real blessing, because over time, games are living longer and you only get one chance to come out."
The aforementioned delay was revealed a few days ago, with Battlefield: Hardline's release on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One now pencilled in for 2015.
