"Developers of Battlefield 6 assert that cosmetics in the game will not be as humorous or lighthearted as in Call of Duty, promising a more realistic aesthetic - a claim that seems almost too ideal to hold true"
Battlefield 6, the highly anticipated sequel from DICE, is set to deliver an immersive and authentic gaming experience [1][2]. According to producer Jeremy Chubb, the game's focus is on maintaining a grounded feel, reminiscent of Battlefield 3 and 4 [3].
DICE producer Alexia Christofi has emphasized the importance of cosmetics feeling authentic to the franchise. The developers are opting for realistic, military simulation-style skins, steering clear of flashy or excessive premium cosmetics often seen in games like Call of Duty or Rainbow Six Siege [1][5].
This approach stands in stark contrast to the extravagance seen in some competitive titles, where flashy skins and celebrity collaborations are common. However, there is an understanding that economic pressures might lead to more varied or crossover cosmetics over time [2]. For now, the focus remains on grounded, military-inspired skins that support the gritty and serious tone of the game’s setting.
In addition to its grounded aesthetic, Battlefield 6 is set to feature a free-to-play battle royale mode, adding a new dimension to the gameplay [4]. While details about potential crossover content for revenue are not yet confirmed, EA's expectations for Battlefield 6 might lead to such inclusions [6].
The positive response to Battlefield 6's traditional grit look has been noted by producer Jeremy Chubb, sparking excitement among FPS fans [7]. With the game's big multiplayer reveal generating buzz, players can look forward to a return to the roots of the Battlefield franchise with a focus on realistic and authentic gameplay.
