'Battlefield Hardline' to release 'Robbery' DLC, to bring new maps, weapons and game mode
It's finally coming! Fans of the latest installment of the popular first-person shooter video game "Battlefield Hardline" can finally get their hands on the new downloadable content (DLC) "Robbery" which will be released on Sept. 16 already. But the gamer will need to be a "Battlefield" premium member in order to avail the update on the scheduled date as it will not be available for regular gamers until further notice. Tech News Today noted that it will be available for everyone in the upcoming months.
Nevertheless, all gamers can expect the expansion pack to be worth the wait and purchase as Visceral Games and Electronic Arts promise something exciting and twice the fun. It will come along with new features including new maps, weapons, game modes, vehicles and so much more. Game Spot detailed that the maps confirmed include The Docks, Museum, Break Pointe, which is related to Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 film "Point Break," and Precinct 7, which is said to be a mirror to the classic cops vs. robbers film "Assault on Precinct 13."
