Electronic Arts and DICE have revealed a bit of the Final Stand DLC for Battlefield 4. Appropriately named because it will be the last map pack DLC for the shooter, Final Stand takes players to snowy Russia on four new maps that will feature technology that may be familiar to longtime fans of the series. There will be mechanized walkers, hover tanks, and man-portable railguns! If you have Battlefield Premium, DICE is offering a way to jump in on the testing of Final Stand before its general release. Get in on the future now! Pew-pew!
Final Stand will launch for Battlefield 4 later this year.
The next Electronic Arts Battlefield game is going to be Battlefield Hardline, developed by Visceral Games. Apparently, Visceral has been paying attention to the kind of gameplay Payday has been offering. It moves the all-terrain action, vehicle mayhem, and shooting from a strictly military affair to a cops and robbers theme. Here’s a leaked promo video to prove it. The video refers to it under the working title of “Omaha” but it’s Hardline through and through. Heavily-armed hoodie wearing bad guys fight SWAT teams in alleys, rooftops, banks, and other urban locales. The singleplayer story features a typically convoluted big-budget shooter plot. Undercover cop Nick Mendoza growls as buildings explode around him in Frostbite glory.
Battlefield Hardline has been rumored for months, but the really substantial leaks started yesterday when gamers accessed hidden data in the Battlelog site. Things seem to be semi-official now. Even the official Battlefield YouTube page has a Hardline logo today. We’ll likely know more about Hardline at E3.
