The news has just been announced that Battleline Hardline, the latest installment in the Battlefield series in which you take the action from the battlefield of martial combat as a soldier to that of the city streets as a police officer or criminal, has had its release date pushed back to some time in 2015.

While originally scheduled to be released in a matter of months, DICE and Visceral said they have pushed back the release to work on a number of things the feedback they got from the Beta brought up. This includes multiplayer “innovation”, single-player story depth and stability, the last one being of gigantic importance after the problems that the last installment Battlefield 4 had even months after its launch and the reputation it gained as a result.

“This has been a focus for our team since day one and we’re going to be using the extra time to continue to optimize the game for a stable launch,” said DICE VP Troedsson, saying that the team learned a lot from Battlefield 4, more from the Hardline Beta and that the extra time would give them a chance to find and squash those issues before the game’s actual launch.
