Video game developer DICE has made it clear that it still has plans to support Battlefield 4 in the long term, despite the fact that Hardline is confirmed as arriving in the fall of this year, and it seems that the two games will have a long-lasting synergy and will influence each other.

Patrick Soderlund, the executive vice president of EA Studios, tells Polygon that, at the moment, the priority is to improve the quality of Battlefield 4 via updates and new downloadable content releases.

He adds, “We still have things to make better. Everything that we’ve fixed with will go into Hardline.”

Battlefield 4 had a number of problems at launch, which Electronic Arts says did not affect overall sales of the title.

DICE has recently introduced a new Community Test Environment in order to allow players to test changes that will be made to the first-person shooter.

Hardline is at the moment set to arrive on October 21 of this year on the PC, the Xbox One from Microsoft, the 360, the PlayStation 4, and the PS3.

Until then, the developers at DICE working in the Los Angeles studio of the company have to deliver another two DLC packs for Battlefield 4.
