Battlefield 6 has been officially confirmed , with EA CEO Andrew Wilson sharing that the game is on the way for holiday 2021. While details have been kept sparse thus far, several leaks and rumors have come about in recent months. As such, players can expect to see a few noteworthy things when the new Battlefield game is first revealed to the pub

Leakers have not only claimed that Battlefield 6 has a modern setting, but further rumors have expanded on this idea to claim that the game will cover "World War 3 ." While the narrative of Russia vs. NATO has become a tired trope in modern first person shooters, a World War 3 setting for Battlefield 6 could include maps based on major landmarks around the world. The White House, Kremlin, Eiffel Tower, and Buckingham Palace are just some of the settings that could be covered in this fictional conflict, giving great visual variety to the next Battlefield ti

A World War 3 setting would instantly give DICE the chance to deliver on its ambitious ideas for Battlefield 6 , as the game could feature an array of weapons from around the world. Instantly giving DICE plenty of options for day one guns and post-launch additions, today’s most popular weaponry can be wielded by players. Beyond that, older gear would be viable as well, as a global conflict would involve less militarily advanced countries as well — justifying the use of some more outdated but equally fun to use guns and equipment. Vehicles, a crucial part of every Battlefield experience, would have no limitations either. Tanks, helicopters, and cars from around the world could be added, providing some more variety to the overall experie

DICE LA will be primarily responsible for creating content for the live service portion of Battlefield 6 . With the studio having already helped on previous Battlefield entries and now being helmed by Vince Zampella of Respawn Entertainment fame (the studio behind Titanfall and Apex Legends ), DICE LA is in a great position to help make Battlefield 6 be all it can be and help to relieve some of the pressure on DICE proper to create new cont

Several reputable sources have said that Battlefield 6 will be taking heavy inspiration from the beloved Battlefield 2042 patch notes|Https://battlefield2042play.com/ 3 , implying much more than a modern setting. The third Battlefield game placed an equal focus on infantry and vehicular gameplay, while also featuring maps that evolve as players progress. Standout locations like Damavand Peak and Operation Metro were both great examples of this, with the excellent Rush game mode moving players from one area to the next as the map progressed. Allowing for a variety of fun gameplay opportunities, such as leaping off a mountain to reach the next set of objectives, Battlefield 3 -like gameplay design is something to anticip

Battlefield , traditionally, has been a largely DICE-developed affair. While that has resulted in some stellar shooters over the years, in today's gaming environment dominated by regular new content drops in games like Call of Duty or even Fortnite , DICE simply can't keep up. That fact was made clear with Battlefield 5 . Though developed as a live-service game in mind, Battlefield 5 saw frequent content droughts and feature delays, sometimes for months at a time. Battlefield games are notorious for releasing in a buggy state, and having to fix bugs and other various launch issues distracts from creating and implementing new game cont

It feels like EA is taking extra steps to ensure that Battlefield 6 will be a great title, and according to industry insiders, fans would indeed be pleased with what they see once the game releases this year. A few months ago, a well-known insider Tom Henderson reported that from his knowledge, the next Battlefield would be exactly the game that all the fans of the franchise want to receive. This claim was based on highly positive feedback from internal testing of the ti

Even if both the Battlefield and Need for Speed franchises are primed for a comeback during this new console generation, Battlefield already has the advantage. Unlike EA's iconic racing series, Battlefield 's had a minor misstep in an otherwise very successful tenure as EA's flagship first-person shooter. Battlefield 5 is only a relatively recent failure in the wake of successful entries like Battlefield 1 , Battlefield 4 , Battlefield 3 , and even Bad Company 2 . Battlefield 's redemption arc, so to speak, isn't a long time coming. Battlefield 5 was relatively slow on the uptake when it came to balance changes and post-launch content, something the next game presumably won't rep

With the review bombing of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare being a clear example as to why this trope should be avoided, fans learning that DICE is following a similar setup with Battlefield 6 ’s story is hardly something to be excited over. With War Stories likely to only focus on the side of the "good guys," AKA NATO, Russians could be, once again, generalized as cruel monsters. Not only would seeing Russia as an enemy yet again be both boring and predictable, but only showing one side’s point of view would be equally uninspi
