New Battlefield details leak, including a F2P Battle Royale mode

With Battlefield 2042 being sunset and the team at DICE fully moving onto their next project, the studio recently shared its first official details on the next Battlefield game; including its modern day setting. With talk of the game now out in the open, insiders have begun to share more details on the next Battlefield.

In a report by known leakers Insider-Gaming, the publication shared a bunch of new details on DICE’s upcoming Battlefield, while also reaffirming some older rumours.

According to Insider-Gaming, the next Battlefield will either be named just ‘Battlefield’ or Battlefield 6 – either is possible, especially as the series has not had the most consistent naming structure.

In terms of the game’s content, Battlefield will finally be getting a free-to-play Battle Royale experience, with the studio ‘Ripple Effect’ said to be in charge of its development.

The premium-priced Battlefield meanwhile is reported to take place between 2027 and 2030, with a campaign “focused on a massive private military going up against NATO,” taking players to multiple locations across the world.

Beyond this, the game is said to feature a significant overhaul to destruction physics and mechanics, including new calibre-based destruction. Additionally, movement is seeing a buff, with one improvement being the ability to now pick up and move downed teammates.

Last but not least, the Battlefield 6 is said to include a solid 45 weapons at launch, though with a much more conservative 10 maps.

Of course, Battlefield 6 or whatever it will be called is still a long ways away, and so we will have to wait and see how much of this comes to fruition – especially with the Battlefield series’ rocky history of development.

KitGuru says: Are you at all hopeful for the next Battlefield? Can the series ever return to its prime popularity? Is the F2P mode a big deal? Let us know down below.
