Visceral Games, an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) studio and makers of the Dead Space series, has unveiled Battlefield Hardline, taking the Battlefield franchise to a new world filled with new ways to play.

Coming Oct. 21 in North America, Battlefield Hardline puts players right in the middle of the war on crime in the gritty and glamorous streets of Los Angeles and Miami, allowing gamers to live out their fantasy of being a cop or a criminal.

Visceral Games is making Battlefield Hardline playable now for the public in a closed multiplayer beta on the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system and on Origin for PC.
