Original story below.
A newly leaked trailer reveals Battlefield Hardline's release date to be October 21.
Presumably the official trailer for this year's Battlefield title, the video shows a sizzle reel of explosions and violence. This is followed by a title screen that directs you to watch a five-minute multiplayer demo on Battlefield's official site, which is not yet available. The release date then flashes on-screen.
This makes three Battlefields in a row to be released in late October, which--if patterns repeat--put them a week or two ahead of Call of Duty's annual November release.
Hardline was confirmed by developer Visceral Games last week, and shortly thereafter a leaked video revealed the context of the game's story. It centers around a detective named Nick Mendoza who pursues his rogue ex-partners across the U.S. Multiplayer details were also revealed. Four new modes--Heist, Rescue, Hotwire, and Bloodmoney--make up Hardline's cops-and-robbers multiplayer.
Also noteworthy is the inclusion of a PlayStation logo at the end of the video, indicating that this trailer will probably be shown at Sony's E3 press conference or published on the PlayStation website. Battlefield 4 was shown off at Microsoft's E3 conference last year, and its DLC has timed exclusivity on Microsoft platforms.
