While Activision continues to see renewed success with the Call of Duty franchise, EA continues to lag behind. As the latest Black Ops Cold War and the ever-expanding Warzone carry the franchise's momentum into 2021, EA's Battlefield franchise finds itself in a troubling position for a return. Battlefield 5 left the shooter series, often seen as Call of Duty 's rival, in a bad place by the time official support for the fifth game had ended last year. Granted the ending of developer support was to divert attention to the new Battlefield game coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X, which needs to make a serious comeback in order to reach the franchise's previous hei

The new Battlefield will be the first in the series since Battlefield V in 2018, which was a bit of a mess. The World War II shooter was buggy and had a lackluster battle royale mode to try and compete with other games, all of which led to DICE pulling support on Battlefield V __ less than two years after its launch. Needless to say, it left a bad taste in peoples' mouths. It seems like DICE has taken its time to try and make things right with Battlefield

A new _Battlefield 2042 DLC|https://battlefield2042play.com/ 6 _ rumor claims the game will allegedly include features like cross-play, massive games with over 100 players in a game , and an ambitious upgrade to the Levolution system. Despite just being rumors, the latest reveal comes from a very reputable leaker and some of this info has been inadvertently confirmed by EA recen

Reputable leaker Tom Henderson is claiming Battlefield 6 is going to kick things up a notch. The shooter will reportedly have up to 128 players in each match and bring a new level of destructibility. Henderson claims that Battlefield 4's popular "Levolution" system will be making a grand return. In Battlefield 4 , players could trigger scripted sequences that caused chaotic events like skyscrapers to come tumbling down. Battlefield 6, which will be set in the modern-day , will supposedly see that same concept but in a less scripted manner. Instead of the building falling the exact same way each time, it'll fall depending on how the building was damaged and targeted. In theory, this will make it a far more versatile and dynamic system, so players have to defend the entire building as opposed to just key target poi

For one thing, EA will want to get ahead of Activision in the most literal sense. Typically, Call of Duty games are revealed in May and/or early summer months, but EA will want to unveil something from the next Battlefield game sooner than that. Especially considering how Battlefield 6 , or whatever the next Battlefield game is named, was initially announced for PS5/Xbox Series X during an EA investors/earnings call a year ago. There hasn't been a single inkling of news about the game other than its existence since last January, potentially meaning it's been in development long enough for a gameplay reveal or even just a tea

While the refusal to remaster the games or make a Bad Company 3 has frustrated many fans of the series, the good news is that the games hold up surprisingly well. Provided players can find a populated multiplayer match, the Rush game mode shines in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 , as the smaller maps serve the infantry-focused mode well. With recent Battlefield games lacking in terms of their Rush offerings, going back to the mode at its peak could lead to an incredibly fun time. Beyond that, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 boasts the excellent Vietnam expansion, providing fresh maps, character designs, and weapons fitting of the violent

The next DICE game takes players to the Star Wars universe, with none other than the once-panned Star Wars Battlefront 2 being a must-play shooter in 2021 . While the game launched in a rough state, lacking content and boasting some of the most controversial microtransactions in the history of video games, the game has made an incredible turnaround in recent years. Not only were the microtransactions done away with, but plenty of post-launch content came too, bringing new life to the g

A massive player count implies equally large maps, which also suggests the possibility of a new battle royale mode. While Battlefield 5 ’s Firestorm game mode was not received as well, it is still possible that DICE takes another shot at a battle royale for Battlefield 6 . With the subgenre's popularity not slowing down, something similar to the addictive gameplay that battle royale games offer will likely be implemented. Battlefield ’s massive maps could put DICE in the position of having several locations ready for the mode on day

EA has somewhat confirmed some of this information already. At their recent earnings call with investors, the company confirmed Battlefield 6 would have more players than ever before as well as having maps with unprecedented scale. The game is also confirmed to take things like destruction and player agency to another level. It sounds highly likely that a lot of this is very true but of course, take it with a grain of salt for now. **Battlefield 6 ** will officially be revealed this spring and will release on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. The game will also be reportedly coming to Xbox One and PS4 as w
