Play Now: Season 6: Dark Protocol

Battlefield™ Hardline · published 31 Oct 2023, 16:00 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

The Boreas facility has been breached and its own AI technology has taken over to create Geists. This is Season 6: Dark Protocol - and now is the time to jump into a new mode, Killswitch.

Your main objective is to take control of the Forge and use the AI Geists against the enemy to secure the nodes one by one. This will be tight, claustrophobic close-quarters combat with threats around every corner. But if you can hold your nerve and secure the rotating objectives, you’ll gain enough points to secure Boreas, contain the threat and turn this hidden enemy into your very own weapon of mass destruction.

This is something the world has never seen before - and it’s up to you to clean up the mess. So gear up, and leave any fear at home. It’s time to master the unknown.
