Team Visceral: “Building Hardline was something we did from ground up. It was during End Game that we started planning for something like this. Looking at everything that was already present on the Battlefield franchise, going with cops vs criminals was a good fit to continue the series. It was an absolute joy to work with DICE to fit the core vision of Battlefield into Hardline. Some may not find this fitting with how you see Battlefield in the traditional sense, but it allowed us to take Battlefield in an entirely new direction which I’m sure players are going to appreciate exploring the world that it’s set in.”
“The biggest gripe about multiplayer I had was accessibility, will Hardline allow new players who want to step into Battlefield waters get a good experience without being dominated by veteran players of the franchise?”
“We’ve worked hard on making sure the balance is retained as well as visual cues to guide new players, they’ll also get to know more about their loadouts. We’ve made sure that that new players won’t feel intimidated stepping into Hardline, it’s easy to get a hold on and improve your skill but ultimately makes the player work to master it.”
