Battlefield Hardline delayed till next year

Battlefield Hardline has been delayed into 2015, according to developer, Visceral Games.  Along with Battlefield: Hardline, EA has decided to push back Dragon Age: Inquisition, but it won’t be as severe as Hardline.  The developers posted an update on the Battlefield Blog stating the delay would “ensure Hardline is the best, most innovative Battlefield experience.”

DICE VP & Group GM Karl Magnus Troedsson addressed why the change was made.“Back at E3, we launched a beta for Hardline — we wanted to not only show you the game, but to let you play it for yourselves,” he wrote. “Millions of you jumped in and had a great time. As a result, the Visceral Games team learned a lot from players about what they wanted in the game.

The developers laid out a pretty elaborate development process they will be implementing during the delay, including depending the game’s single-player story, adding new multiplayer innovations, and stabilizing the game’s online component for a solid launch.
