On a related note, Henderson briefly touched upon the topic of free-to-play. Lately, it’s becoming more common to see paid games implement some sort of free-to-play extension on the side, such as Call of Duty: Warzone and the multiplayer for Halo Infinite . And with EA and DICE potentially adding a battle royale mode to Battlefield 6 , it led Henderson to wonder, "could EA and DICE be planning a F2P Battlefield experien

A modern setting is a good way for Battlefield to create some free marketing for a few reasons. Games set in modern times tend to stir up more controversy due to their portrayals of violence, which means more headlines and time on the news. That translates to more eyeballs and more sales, even if that was never the intention for those reporting on controversial aspects of the game. A modern setting is also bound to draw comparisons to Modern Warfare, which is another way to market the game without spending a penny on advertisements, as comparison videos are bound to flood YouTube whenever a trailer relea

Whether the next Battlefield title will be Battlefield VI, another Bad Company, or something new altogether is unclear. Neither EA nor DICE have released information regarding the game’s setting or potential story elements. Any information regarding gameplay, narrative, or setting are speculation at this time, though, with the announcement that a new Battlefield is happening in 2021, more information will likely be forthcoming s

The best way for Battlefield 6 to make itself feel truly next generation will be environmental destruction. Environmental destruction in multiplayer games is not totally new, but it has always been a double edged sword. It creates a sense of realism, immersion, and tactical fluidity, but typically suffers from buginess , inconsistent implementation, and can often be exploited in game-breaking ways. If Battlefield 6 can get anywhere close to perfecting environmental destruction on a large scale, it will instantly set itself apart from the herd. Buildable defenses, crumbling buildings, and artillery craters all worked well in Battlefield V , but taking that design element to the next level is a m

Battlefield 6 developer DICE is well known for its quality products. Even though its Star Wars Battlefront games garnered high-profile controversy due to truly unfortunate microtransactions implementation by publisher EA, the base experience delivered by the development team was always unique and polished. The thing that DICE gets right in both Battlefield and Battlefront is the cinematic experience: so many moments in these games provide a sense of scale, grandeur, and chaos that is unparalleled in any other

That last part might not appeal much to Battlefield fans, not after Battlefield 5 failed to introduce battle royale to the series with its Firestorm mode. Numerous issues, including a slow pace and a bad loot system, resulted in Firestorm being largely dismissed as one of the worst battle royale games out there. Of course, with battle royale being much more prominent now than when BF5 first dropped, there’s always hope that DICE has taken Firestorm’s failure to heart and is focusing more on improving Battlefield ’s battle royale experie

For players still playing Battlefield 5 , the game recently saw the addition of new skins as October ended. While the wait for more Battlefield 6 details may seem never-ending, dressing up in battlefield 2042 Patch Notes 5 ’s Halloween skins should make it a tiny bit more bearable – even if only for a little wh

It might seem like choosing a modern setting would be a detriment to Battlefield 6 , putting it in very direct competition with Modern Warfare . However, it is in Battlefield 's best interest to be compared to CoD if it has enough features that set it apart and invite players to experience a different take on the setting that they are interested in. By the time Battlefield 6 comes out, players may start losing interest in Modern Warfare 's constant content updates , and a shiny new FPS title in the same setting, but built for next-gen consoles and featuring innovative gameplay could attract quite a few custom

Fans were recently fooled by Battlefield 6 teasers that turned out to be a hoax . A series of cryptic videos were posted online that seemed to hint at the next entry in the series, but after several days of teasing, it was revealed that the videos were entirely fan-made. Players were desperate for an official announcement regarding the next Battlefield game and took the bait from the fan, so this official bit of news on a Holiday 2021 launch window should help the tricked fans c

Since its inception in 2002 with Battlefield 1942 for PC and Mac, the Battlefield franchise has enraptured fans with each iteration. From World War II to more modern settings and even a one-off title set in the future (Battlefield 2142 – 2006), the series has been a staple in the first-person shooter genre. For better or worse, each Battlefield title is one of the most popular games to release in its launch year, with gamers rushing to get their hands on the next installment to engage in some massive gunfights with other players. However, what many fans want is a Battlefield: Bad Company 3, as it has been 10 years since Bad Company 2’s release, and the only information released regarding a continuation of that series has been speculative at b
