Several reputable sources have said that Battlefield 6 will be taking heavy inspiration from the beloved Battlefield 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

In an investors call (via VentureBeat ), EA CFO Blake Jorgensen confirmed that the new Battlefield will be revealed this spring and began to tease the potential for the title. It's unclear whether or not the game will come to Xbox One and PS4 but it is confirmed to release on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. According to Jorgensen, Battlefield 6 will " mark a return to all-out military warfare ." He continued by talking about the scale of the new shooter. " The game takes full advantage of the power of next-generation platforms to bring massive, immersive battles to life with more players than ever before. Featuring maps with unprecedented scale, the next edition of Battlefield takes all the destruction, player agency, vehicle and weapon combat that the franchise is known for and elevates it to another level. The team is focused and the game is ahead of our internal milestones. We’ll reveal the game in the spring, and deliver a defining Battlefield experience for our players in the 2021 holiday season ," said Jorgen

Battlefield 6 has the potential to change things up in a big way, and player count should only be the beginning. Listening to fan feedback would be a great way to start, as popular modes like Rush deserve some extra love and attention. Likewise, more customization for characters, vehicles, and weapons would be great to see. The return of Battlelog would be a major plus, allowing players to take deep dives into their performances following the large-scale matches. New classes can be added, functioning as a major adjustment to the series’ formula, while something new can be done instead of a battle royale . Lastly, DICE can continue adding complex and entertaining easter eggs as well, with more possibilities for secrets than ever before coming straight from the source the 128-player co

The Aftermath expansion served as a mixture of both styles, introducing unique weapons like the crossbow and giving all classes a special design — capturing the feeling that players were fighting in the back half of a war. The End Game expansion rounded out the DLC by focusing on new features like motorcycles, giving Battlefield fans entirely different experiences to keep playing post-launch. Battlefield 6 continuing the free DLC plan of Battlefield 5 would be great, but there's no reason that content can't be shaped into certain themes again. Adopting a system like the content seasons in Call of Duty , DICE could deliver periods of content aimed at all playsty

Battlefield 5 ’s Grand Operations mode was also received poorly by fans, proving that size is not everything. While Battlefield 1 ’s Operations mode proved exciting, Grand Operations attempted to expand upon it through longer matches. While the concept of chaining multiple modes and maps together to create one lengthy match sounded good on paper, the result was an unfocused and unbalanced mode that saw the defensive team being at a huge disadvantage. Worse, only the final objective truly mattered when determining a winner, making the several minutes of gameplay beforehand feel pointless. While the intentions were good, this increase in size proved to be a negative, with many wishing normal Operations had returned inst

EA Chief Studios Officer Laura Miele wrote in a blog post today (via ComicBook.com ), detailing the fact that Criterion would be delaying its new Need for Speed title in order to help give Battlefield 6 the support it needs. Miele also noted that the game will be getting an alpha, seemingly very soon. "The project is tracking towards the franchise’s earliest Alpha, the gameplay is at an unprecedented scale, and we are taking full advantage of the technology in the next-gen consoles," Miele said. "The team has done an incredible job despite the challenges of working from home. We want to build on our position of strength, focus on the opportunity in front of us, and set our game makers up for success to deliver the best experience possible to our players this fa

The exec went on to note that a rough cut of the Battlefield 6 trailer has already been finished and seen internally. At this rate, it's entirely possible the game could be revealed as soon as April. "We have an exceptional year ahead with our next Battlefield, so we thank everyone for coming together with the energy and determination to do something special," Miele went on to say. "We’ve recently seen the first version of the reveal trailer for Battlefield and it’s shaping up to be a truly amazing first look at this groundbreaking game. I think fans are going to love
