A recent leak suggests that **Battlefield 6 ** , which is scheduled to launch this year, might include a battle royale mode. The game is expected to release during the Holiday season, and the flow of rumors is likely to get stronger in the coming months. Whatever the case with these battle royale rumors, Battlefield 6 will soon be revealed officially, considering its imminent 2021 release. According to the industry insider and GamesBeat journalist Jeff Grubb, the Battlefield 6 reveal is coming in May , although plans for that are yet to be solidified internally. Judging by Grubb’s words, EA and DICE are at least considering May as a potential window for a formal announcement, which will prepare franchise fans for a more elaborate event during June’s
The initial batch of speculation was conveniently gathered by YouTuber Lossy in a dedicated video, which comes from EA, which sent a survey to Battlefield fans . Several questions referenced battle royale mechanics including maps changing over time and an obligatory battle pass filled with both premium and free cosmetic rewards. The survey particularly focused on whether or not fans have any interest in a free-to-play mode in the first place. The next day, an insider leak courtesy of the bf6leaker user appeared on Reddit. The insider claimed to be in touch with a person from Battlefield 6 ’s development t
Fans of the franchise are currently busy speculating about the different possibilities as to how Battlefield 6 could be an evolution of the formula, and one such rumor/speculation suggests that Battlefield 6 would include better destructibility mechanics. This has seemingly been hinted at by DICE, though that’s no promise either. While it remains to be seen how such a thing pans out, DICE should take the opportunity to make this a meaningful part of the gameplay loop and not just a gimm
In a new post to r/battlefield6, user bf6leaker listed some eye-catching new features they claim are planned for this year’s Battlefield 6 , including an impressive new player count in multiplayer matches and a new battle royale m
As for how Call of Duty 2021 will play, fans know a bit less about this game than Battlefield 6 . Supposedly being gritty and controversial, the 2021 game is rumored to include the concept of skill-based matchmaking . Call of Duty: Warzone integration of some kind is also set to occur, which makes sense given recent comments from Activision. The game will apparently run on the IW8 engine straight from the source Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019, ensuring that the game has the most up-to-date graphics of any Call of Duty title released thus far. Though no specific details have been provide, it can be expected that it will rely heavily on traditional 6v6 gameplay, though a large-scale mode like Ground War or Fireteam is also possi
If bf6leaker’s posted leaks are accurate, DICE is taking some big steps to ensure that Battlefield 6 is the next big entry in the series. The user claims to have gotten the information by getting someone close to the game to answer some questions for them, with a moderator of the subreddit claiming to have confirmed their contact without being able to share their proof for obvious reasons. Perhaps the least surprising of all the claims made in the post is the confirmation that Battlefield 6 will have a battle royale when it ships. The post also claims that some game modes will be able to handle 128 player matches, as well as some fan-favorite maps as Locker, Wake Island, and Metro making a ret
Still, there are things that Battlefield 5 did which may return in Battlefield 6 . The first entry in the series to introduce free DLC, new maps, weapons, and cosmetics were added without any additional costs. Further, Battlefield 5 ’s easter eggs were just as wild and complex as the ones in previous entries, something that will hopefully continue in Battlefield 6. Lastly, the game introduced Firestorm, the franchise’s first foray into the battle royale genre. While the mode ultimately failed, it may have taught DICE some valuable lessons about making such a mode, ensuring that a possible Battlefield 6 battle royale succe
The inclusion of a new battle royale is not very surprising at all. The genre is still extremely popular, and Battlefield 5 had its own battle royale, Firestorm. The return of select fan-favorite maps is also pretty standard for multiplayer FPS games, and the increase in player count in matches is a logical step for the series to take advantage of the new generation of home consoles. The most surprising claim in the post is that Battlefield 6 is a collection of all previous games in the series as well as an entirely new title, allowing players to set up servers playing previous games exclusively, or to even mix the assets and mechanics from different games into their matc
Battlefield 6 rumors also state the existence of natural disasters such as floods, tornados, and storm to occur at certain points in certain maps. This could also tie into the destructible environments as they could seemingly catalyze such events, or outright even cause entire buildings to break down. This might pose a challenge with the implementation, as such events could ultimately turn out to be more of a hassle than something a team might use as a tactical advant
