Summary
A new rumor has suggested thatBattlefield 6could bring back the Battle Royale game mode first featured inBattlefield 5. DICE didn’t include the mode inBattlefield 2042, so a potential return inBattlefield 6is exciting news.
AfterBattlefield 2042received mixed reviews from players and critics alike, the franchise has taken a step back for a few years to ensure it gets back on the right track going forward. Just recently,EA announced Battlefield Labs, a new testing program that will allow players to try out the next installment and provide useful feedback for the full release. While DICE has continued to update and improveBattlefield 2042in the years since its release, it would undoubtedly be much better for the series' reputation to provide a smooth launch this time around.
In a post responding to a question about a potentialBattle Royale inBattlefield 6, Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson had a simple one-word answer, saying, “Yeah.” Henderson didn’t provide any further details about the potential mode, but its rumored addition is definitely an exciting prospect.Battlefieldhas always been one of the best series for large-scale combat, which fits in perfectly with the core concept of a Battle Royale mode.
Battlefield 6 May Bring Back Battle Royale
If it does come to fruition, then it won’t be the first time the series has tried its hand at a Battle Royale mode.Battlefield 5had Firestorm, a 64-player Battle Royale mode that didn’t quite catch on with players upon its 2019 release. While the gameplay worked, the 64-player limit and the fact players had to buyBattlefield 5to play meant it struggled to compete with other free-to-play Battle Royales at the time. The mode did not return in 2021’sBattlefield 2042, although it will be interesting to see what changes are made to the formula to ensure its success this time around.
EA has yet to confirm exactly whenBattlefield 6will be released. Hopefully, information about the game will start to trickle out over the course of the year.There are plenty of rumors at the moment, including claims that thenextBattlefieldwill feature Battlefield Portal, a popular game mode that allows players to design custom games using elements from previous titles in the series. Until concrete details are available, this should be taken with a pinch of salt, however.
