Hey, are you a fan of Visceral Games andElectronic Arts’ 2015Battlefieldspin-offBattlefield Hardline? Well then I have some terrible news for you; because you’re never seeing a sequel to that game.
In a recent interviewwithBattlefield Hardline’smultiplayer design lead Thaddeus Sasser, VideoGamer’s Lewis White was told that any chance of a sequel is very much off the table.
“I think, you know, maybe, maybe, there is a world where that game could exist…” explained Sasser, “but, at the time, the political climate—if you remember there’s [the] Ferguson [shooting] and all that other bad stuff going on. It was just… too much. There was no way EA was going to do that…”

“I would have liked to strip the Battlefield name off the front” he continued, “because that’s, I think, the thing that p**sed so many people off.”
The confirmation thatBattlefield Hardlinewill never get a sequel has upset quite a few Battlefield fans, because whilst the reception for the game, pre-release, was quite negative, a lot of people feel quite positively about the title nowadays.
In a Reddit thread detailing the news on r/Battlefield, several people voiced their disappointment at the announcement.
“Not surprising honestly Cuz battlefield was never really made for cops and robbers…” stateduser TEHYJ2006, “But still some things in bf hardline were amazing”

“God I loved this game so much, its so sad that there is basically no more active servers on PC. The map design was something else!”replied Marinesnake8.
AzureRathalos97shared a similar statement, saying “They had some innovative and hilarious ideas. It’s a shame such a large sect of the community didn’t treat it as the spinoff it was like they did Bad Company.”
And as a ride-or-dieDead Spacefan, I will never forgive them for that.
