Visceral Games, and KIDinaKORNER / Interscope Records, today announced a partnership with hit musician, Jamie N Commons, to deliver his newest single “Karma” exclusively for Battlefield Hardline. The song will serve as the game’s theme music, setting the stage as gamers engross themselves on one side of the law or the other. This cops-vs-criminals fantasy first person shooter (FPS) combines an emotionally-driven single player story inspired by popular TV crime dramas and an all-out-war multiplayer on the streets of Los Angeles and Miami to deliver the most complete FPS on the market today.
“The music, and moreover the audio help create that emotional experience you want gamers to feel as they play in the world we’ve built for them,” said Steve Papoutsis, VP and General Manager of Visceral Games and Executive Producer of Battlefield Hardline. “With ‘Karma’, Jamie captured that gritty cop and criminals tone that defines Hardline, where not everyone is good and not everyone is bad, toeing that fine line of the law.”
Jamie, the artist behind the immensely popular tracks, “Jungle” and “Rumble and Sway”, wrote “Karma” exclusively for Battlefield Hardline with Alex Da Kid, acclaimed producer and Head of KIDinaKORNER. Jamie will be performing the song for the first time tonight at the Game Awards 2014 in Las Vegas in front of the live audience and to viewers watching from around the world. Tune in starting at 2am GMT tonight at http://thegameawards.com/watch-live/.
“I have been a longtime gamer and I could not pass up the opportunity to be involved with a franchise I respect as much as Battlefield,” said Jamie N Commons. “Earlier this year ‘Jungle’ was featured in the first Battlefield Hardline trailer, which was a total thrill. ‘Karma,’ however, was written specifically with the game in mind. The deep melodic beats and lyrics help express the game’s theme where actions have consequences, but sometimes those consequences come back full circle. I think gamers are going to love it.”
