EA threw together this wild showcase for Battlefield 6’s multiplayer last night. And let me tell you, it was all about the core goodness of the franchise, like they didn’t want anybody to forget the roots. Anyway — wait, no — the teams over at Battlefield Studios, they’re like trying to bring this classic vibe into modern times. Kinda cool, right?
So, the event dove into features, maps, and all that jazz. But — and it’s a big ‘but’ — people were clamoring for something that didn’t really make a grand appearance. Oh, and by people, I definitely mean me, too.
Honestly, they didn’t completely skip it. More like a blink-and-you-miss-it teaser. I’m talking about the battle royale mode everyone’s buzzing about. Ripple Effect’s handling that — yup, the folks behind Battlefield Portal.
At the end, there was this teaser. Seriously, it didn’t stay long enough to even sip your coffee. Players freaking bolting away from some off-screen chaos, and yeah, a wall of fire creeping up behind them. Vehicles everywhere, because, why not? Though, really, not shocking in the least.
Now, they did this thing where they didn’t say it’s a battle royale. Not the Firestorm name either — but with that fiery ring inching closer, it’s not a stretch to guess it’s another stab at Battlefield 5’s Firestorm.
Oh! And how hilarious would it be if they stick with “Firestorm”? Like, there’s already an Operation Firestorm map in play. Talk about potential confusion city.
And get this: no word on if this mode’s dropping when Battlefield 6 debuts on October 10. But for the Battlefield Lab folks? They’re gonna play it first. Lucky them.
Free-to-play vibes? Almost a given, especially since they’re eyeing what Call of Duty: Warzone’s doing. EA’s shooting for that 100 million player mark, and yeah, not charging for it seems like a decent plan.
Anyway. Or maybe that was everything. Who knows.
