Battlefield Hardline announced

EA has officially announced Battlefield Hardline, which will add "new twists and turns" to the Battlefield experience.

Dead Space studio Visceral Games is overseeing development, while Hardline will have a cops and criminals theme.

"On behalf of everyone at EA and Visceral Games, I'm fired up to confirm our next project - Battlefield Hardline," wrote studio vice president Steve Papoutsis.

"The game launches this fall and it's a brand new series in the Battlefield franchise, set against the backdrop of a genre we all love - the war on crime and the battle between cops and criminals."

Platforms are yet to be announced but leaks from earlier this week suggest it will come to both last and current-gen consoles as well as PC.

More details have been promised to come at E3 next month.
