Staying in the past would likely be a death sentence for Battlefi e ld 6 . Ultimately, that leaves two possibilities: the present and the future. But a future setting may be just as unappealing as another game set in the past. Call of Duty, still seemingly the arbiter for what's "in" in the games industry just did that with Black Ops 4 . With Treyarch reportedly taking the lead for the next Call of Duty game, there's a good chance that Black Ops 5 may be the next entry in the franchise , which may mean yet another Call of Duty set in the fut

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

Scale will have to increase massively as well. Pushing the technological boundaries of player counts and game size, yet still maintaining a fast-paced gameplay loop is one of the specialties of the Battlefield series. This time though, Battlefield 6 will be contending with the popularity of several battle royale games, all of which have impressive scale . At their best, Battlefield games make each player feel like just one small part in a massive conflict, barely able to shift the tide of battle on their own. Battlefield 6 will have to go above and beyond to convey that feeling bigger, better, and more beautifully than every other shooter out there. It can be done, and based on its potential, Battlefield 6 is currently the game most likely to do

Quite recently, Russian industry insider Anton Logvinov shared a brief statement on Twitter claiming that Battlefield 6 is not what fans want, although it plays well. Judging by his subsequent commentaries, the insider hasn’t played the game himself while the information was probably coming from third parties participating in closed testing. Shortly after that, another industry insider, Tom Henderson, claimed the contrary stating that Battlefield 6 will actually be what fans of the series want . Interestingly, the source of Henderson’s confidence is pretty much the same as Logvinov’s concerns. According to those participating in internal testing, the game is receiving significantly more positive feedback than the previous titles. This reception makes Henderson believe that DICE is handling Battlefield 6 in a way that should satisfy f

This return to a present day setting seems favorable to fans, and inevitable, as the indicative tweet from Henderson got an enthusiastic response from his followers. It sounds like the developers, EA DICE , are taking some cues from one of the favorites of the series, and surely setting it in modern times will give players some advanced weapons and vehicles to test out. Battlefield 6 however, must make up for Battlefield V and deliver not just substantially more content, but a higher level of polish, a faster rate of post-launch content, higher player counts, and some innovation to compete with Modern Warfare which has given Call of Duty their best game in years - one that also supports cross-play and offers its battle royale modes for f

Modern Warfare and Warzone will certainly still be alive and kicking by the time that Battlefield 6 comes out. The developer has stated its commitment to keeping the current reboot around as the primary multiplayer Call of Duty experience for a long time yet, and the dev has made good on that commitment so far by continuing to release new content at a pace that even other triple-A developers struggle to keep up w

When EA Play took place earlier this year, EA hinted at their new **Battlefield ** game, which will be released sometime next year. Battlefield V was released back in 2018, and definitely did not live up to the hype and expectations that Battlefield 1 brought to fans of the series. The Battlefield 2042 Updates series has had huge hits, such as Battlefield 3 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 , as well as disappointing lows such as Battlefield V and Battlefield: Hardline . On the other hand, the Call of Duty series has kept their fans happy with their recent games, especially with the massive success of Call of Duty Modern Warfare . Its exceptional battle royale mode, Warzone , has also been a huge attraction for Call of Duty play

Having sold eight million copies in its first month, and scoring 89% on Metacritic for its PC version, Battlefield 3 was one of the most popular games in the series and helped push the series into the mainstream even more as a legit competitor against Call of Duty . Battlefield 4 continued that, also embracing the same modern setting, and both games remain arguably the most favored in the series. As for the BF3 remaster rumors, that seems odd and inexplicable at this point to re-release a modern set game alongside a new modern set game, splitting a player base they so desperately need to keep large to support large player cou
