Oh boy, where do I even start with this? So, EA just unleashed this big reveal thingy for Battlefield 6’s multiplayer—late at night, as if they knew we’d be half asleep. But anyway, it was all about sticking to what Battlefield does best. You know, those hardcore fans were eating it up. Guns, maps, modes—yeah, the usual spiel.
But here’s the kicker: they kind of skipped over, or maybe just sneakily hinted at, one of the hot topics fans were dying to see. Some might say it was downright sneaky, but I’ll get to that in a sec.
Basically, they did this tiny little tease of a supposed battle royale mode. And I mean tiny. Blink and you’d miss it, tiny. It’s being worked on by Ripple Effect—those folks behind Battlefield Portal. Anyway, near the end there was this short clip. Think: players running like their pants were on fire. Which, actually, made sense later when they showed this giant wall of fire closing in. Spooky, huh? Vehicles were thrown in there, as usual—kind of a Battlefield staple, let’s be honest.
But here’s the thing—no official battle royale label popped up. No confirmation if it’s clinging to the Firestorm name either, but with the fiery wall stuff, it’s probably a nod to Battlefield 5’s Firestorm. Honestly, who knows these days?
Funny part is, if they keep the Firestorm name, there might be some hilarious mix-ups with the Operation Firestorm map. Imagine the chaos!
They didn’t spill if this fiery thrill ride is dropping the same day as Battlefield 6, which is October 10 by the way—we think. Battlefield Labs peeps will get to fiddle with it sooner, at least. And oh, speculation is it might be free-to-play. Probably makes sense since Call of Duty: Warzone did that and we know how that went. Free is the new black, especially if EA’s going after 100 million players. Wild, right?
