EA Access members should buckle up and get ready for 10 hours of single-player and multiplayer "Battlefield Hardline" gaming. According to the game's website, the trial version to be available on March 12 will give players a sneak peak on the storyline of the new "Battlefield" game. The trial run will contain multiplayer maps to acclimate players to what they should expect of the game upon its official release on March 17. 

And there's even more good news for EA Access members as everything achieved in the trial version can be saved and carried over in the official game, giving them an advantage over their non-member peers. Aside from a preview of the coming title, subscribers of the service can also get 10 percent off their purchase of "Battlefield Hardline" on Xbox One inclusive of the $4.99 monthly subscription fee. Moreover, players will be gifted with The Vault. 

This is not the first trial offered by the game publisher and it is expected that future titles will also offer such perk. If one is currently not a member of the service, they can subscribe for just $4.99 a month and reap the benefits. 

Also, owners of older versions of "Battlefield" games can obtain the "Battlefield Hardline" Veterans Pack for free from EA's Origin service. The DLC will come with an in-game veterans patch and 200 percent on both objective and teamplay boosts. 

Another thing that should keep players excited is the reports that the "Battlefield Hardline" will include Easter eggs for gamers to hunt and crack down. It also has new gaming modes, including Hotwire and Conquest. 

"Battlefield Hardline" is set for release on March 17 for PC, Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, and PS3 in the U.S. and on March 20 in the U.K.
