Stick a fork in Battlefield Hardline. It’s done.
To everyone hoping to run those last minute ideas past the Battlefield Hardline devs, I’ve got some bad news. The game is done. Finished. Finalized. Complete. Wrapped up. Done. Or as we say in the biz, it’s gone gold. So what does this mean for us? Well, not much. But read on for the details anyway, won’t you?
The announcement was made on Twitter earlier today that development has been completed on Battlefield Hardline, the latest iteration of the long running FPS franchise.

Now, we all know that this probably doesn’t mean that the game is actually finished. These days, it’s common practice for developers to keep working on their games after sending them off to the manufacturer. The once dreaded day one patches are more or less expected now. Still, Visceral Games should be commended for taking on the task of reinventing a flagship franchise like Battlefield, and making it their own. Hopefully, their hard work will pay off when the game is released on March 17th for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
