EA Access for Battlefield Hardline trail available now

EA Access subscribers can now download the early trail for Battlefield Hardline, giving you an opportunity to play the game five days before release.

The trail is a massive 45GB, but will only allow up to 10 hours of gaming before it’s locked down, forcing you to buy the game if you’re suitably impressed. Be warned, however, that this does not unlock the full game or the full set of options. you’ll be limited to the single player prologue and the first chapters in the 10-episode story.

Fear not, however…! Progress will carry to your game if you choose to buy the game, meaning you won’t have to fumble through and play what you’ve already played.

But as far as multiplayer is concerned, that’s all open and you’ll be able to play whatever will be available on release. And if you do choose to buy the game, not only will you keep your progression, but you’ll get a 10% discount with EA Access.

The game is due to be released 17 March in North America and three days later on the 20 March in Europe.
