It's unclear what other content might be included

Battlefield Hardline is less than one month away from its launch date, but the teams at developer Visceral Games and publisher Electronic Arts still have some surprises to reveal about the game and the major one seems to be the fact that a Premium service will be introduced for the shooter, offering additional content for those who are willing to pay.

The teasing campaign is taking place on the various social media outlets the two companies are using, and the image and the message delivered via Twitter seem to suggest that one of the extra pieces of content that will be introduced consists of new weapons.

A Premium service will be mainly aimed at those who are aiming to get Battlefield Hardline content as soon as possible and Electronic Arts will probably continue to keep the two weeks gap between the initial launch of DLC and the moment when it becomes available to the entire community.

So far, no downloadable content plans have been announced for the shooter, but at least three packs will probably be introduced, if not more.

The Premium service for Battlefield 4 is designed to appeal to the most dedicated of fans, and after a relatively negative initial reaction, the fan base seems to have become accustomed and accepting of its existence.

In the beta period for Battlefield Hardline, some gamers who dug through the files managed to get access to some weapons which had a special Premium tag, but EA and Visceral Games need to deliver official info as soon as possible in order to make sure that players can choose whether to subscribe or not.

Battlefield Hardline needs to have a successful launch

The new shooter in the long-running series has been delayed once because of quality concerns and that means Electronic Arts needs to make sure that the coming launch is very successful.

The title will be introduced on the Xbox One, the PlayStation 4, the PC and last-gen consoles on March 17 in North America and on March 19 in Europe.

Most members of the community should probably play the shooter for a while before deciding whether they are also interested in getting access to a Premium service and the extra rewards it delivers.
