Launch trailer for Battlefield Hardline has shootouts, explosions and high-speed chases

Battlefield Hardline releases on 17 March for the PC, Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360 and PS3; here to apprise you of that is the launch trailer, and it combines footage from both the single-player campaign and the multiplayer portion of the shooter.

Visceral’s upcoming FPS intends to portray an intense fast-paced cop story, similar to great crime TV shows, and it does show in the trailer below, as we see different key characters in the process of takedowns and armed confrontaions. Meanwhile, the online part of the game is all about criminals attempting to carry out heists or other capers and successfully evade or defeat the cops, while the latter need to put a stop to plans of the opposing side. This means that non-lethal takedowns involving Tasers and other such police equipment also come into play, as do chases involving car, boasts and even choppers.

The trailer features the song “I’m So Sorry” by American rock band Imagine Dragons.
