A credible rumor has emerged suggesting that EA will not be launching a Battle Royale mode with Battlefield 6. Instead, this mode may be released “months” after the base game goes live. Despite various rumors surrounding a potential Battle Royale for Battlefield 6, it appears the development team is still diligently working on this feature.
Recent information indicates that fans might have to wait until early next year to experience it. Throughout the year, select fans have participated in closed playtests for the upcoming installment of the franchise, while others finally got a glimpse of Battlefield 6 through an official reveal trailer released on July 24. This trailer primarily showcased the single-player campaign, highlighting intense gunfights, explosions, and other thrilling elements.
To see more of the game, fans are scheduled to wait until July 31 for a multiplayer reveal that EA has confirmed will take place. The latest trailer provides a solid overview of what players can expect, featuring a beloved mechanic front and center. With the rising popularity of Battle Royale games, many have speculated that Battlefield 6 would include such a mode.
However, insiders, including Kick streamer RivaLxfactor, report that the purported Battle Royale mode will be free-to-play and may not launch until months after the base game’s release. It’s worth noting that plans might evolve as development progresses. Although EA has not officially confirmed the release date for Battlefield 6, rumors suggest that it might be slated for October.
If this timeline holds, the Battle Royale mode could potentially be released during the Holiday season or into the new year. This strategy mirrors the approach taken by Call of Duty: Warzone, which launched five months post-release of Modern Warfare. While the reasoning for a delayed release remains unclear, one thing is certain: enthusiasm for Battlefield 6 is already through the roof.
The reveal trailer amassed almost 200,000 likes within the first hour, surpassing Black Ops 7’s likes by a substantial margin, despite the latter having been available for much longer.
