Original story: EA and Visceral continue to have trouble containing leaks, in regards to Battlefield Hardline. Though it may have plugged one leak, a bigger one appears to have sprung in its place. Today's leak may prove to be the most detailed one yet, with a trailer announcing an October 21 release date.

The trailer belows shows more of the cops-and-robbers based action, as the FPS action moves to the streets. Users are also prompted to visit the Battlefield Hardline website for a five-minute multiplayer demo. The site currently shows that the leaked trailer is scheduled to be revealed during EA's E3 presentation on June 9.

Visceral has previously dismissed the previous leak, noting that that we'd look at "the real deal" at E3. But by all accounts, the real deal look to be out already. Get a look at the trailer below, but just like last time, do it fast, because it might wind up getting pulled sooner than later.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
