<p><span style="color: #000000;">It&#8217;s becoming something of a theme in gaming that all the big titles of 2014 are being pushed back to next year. Today we can add another title to that long list, Battlefield: Hardline. EA today confirmed that the game will be missing its October release date and will come out in early 2015 instead. The publisher stated in a blog post that they wanted to include more content in the game but that, &#8221;we would need more time. Time that we didn&#8217;t have if we decided to move forward with launching in just a couple of months.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">EA also stressed that this extra time in development is needed to &#8221;</span><span style="color: #000000;">to optimize the game for a stable launch&#8221;. Stability will be an area of focus for the developers after the severe problems suffered by last year&#8217;s Battlefield 4. The game was a mess at launch and received incredibly negative feedback from fans. By delaying Battlefield: Hardline, EA is looking to avoid the mistakes of the past and to restore the franchise&#8217;s reputation.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Yet this is not EA&#8217;s only delay. The company have also announced that Dragon Age: Inquisition will not be coming out in October either. Thankfully it has not been delayed as far as 2015 and has a new release date of November 18.</span></p>
