Titled Karma, this new piece of footage from the upcoming offering showcases the campaign, and reveals lots of things about it.

The Battlefield series has its roots set way back in 2002 when Battlefield 1942 was launched. Since then, the franchise has given birth to several sub-series, with Hardline being the latest one among them. The last game to have been released under the brand was Battlefield 4 which was launched in 2013 for the PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. Although well received for its offerings, this title received a lot of flak due to its buggy nature and its frequent multiplayer issues.
Battlefield Hardline is ready for a release on the PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC on March 17 next year. It can be pre-ordered now for all the platforms through major retailers.
