return to its classic roots, Battlefield 6's multiplayer seems to deliver a faithful revisit to the series' legacy.
Battlefield 6, the latest instalment in the popular first-person shooter series, is set to release on October 10. The game is set in the near future of 2027, where NATO has all but crumbled.
The game will feature a confirmed battle royale mode, with a Warzone-style battle royale being teased in gameplay previews and data mines. This mode, currently playable in Battlefield Labs, includes a shrinking ring of fire and is expected to launch alongside the game's core multiplayer modes. However, it was not initially mentioned in early press releases.
The game will also include the traditional multiplayer modes Conquest, Rush, and Breakthrough. In addition, the old class system (Recon, Assault, Engineer, and Support) is making a comeback, with the Support class gaining the ability to pull injured players behind cover and out of the line of fire.
Battlefield 6 will feature nine maps at launch, including a remake of Operation Firestorm from Battlefield 3. The maps cover a variety of terrains, from wide-open battlefields to closer-range maps like Gibraltar. One of the maps, as shown in the trailer, is set in New York City, with the Brooklyn Bridge prominent in the background.
The game will be restricted to 64-player battles, a decision made by DICE in response to the unpopularity of 128-player battles in Battlefield 2042. The public beta for Battlefield 6 will start on August 7 and 8 for Battlefield Labs participants, with a wider public beta running between August 9-10 and again from August 14-17.
Portal, a feature that allows players to create custom game modes and experiences, also makes an appearance in Battlefield 6. The graphics in Battlefield 6 have seen a solid upgrade, with the live gameplay after the initial presentation resembling the battlefield from previous games.
However, it's important to note that no prior information about Specialists from Battlefield 2042 is mentioned in the provided context. Also, the door for larger maps remains open through Battlefield Labs. The removal of hit markers and score indicators from the trailer is for cinematic reasons.
In conclusion, Battlefield 6 promises to deliver a thrilling gaming experience with its confirmed battle royale mode, traditional multiplayer modes, and customisable gameplay through Portal. The game's release date is fast approaching, so stay tuned for more updates!
