Every year since 2015, EA has released a new game from Swedish developer DICE in the fall, alternating between Star Wars Battlefront and Battlefield releases. As it stands, 2020 looks as though it will be breaking from that pattern, but teases from the Battlefield Twitter account suggests that a Battlefield 6 announcement, or something similar, could be happening sooner rather than later.
The teasers started last week in a video uploaded by Battlefield YouTuber JackFrags. The video was mostly just about Battlefield 5, but it ends with the camera zooming in on a pocket watch. This bizarre ending was acknowledged by Niklas Astrand of DICE, who responded, “tick tick tick…” This seems to suggest that the pocket watch is part of some kind of official Battlefield series tease, with some fans convinced that it is pointing to a Battlefield 6 announcement.
Meanwhile, a mysterious Twitter account recently appeared online that’s only tweet is a bizarre, cryptic video that features a numerical code recently tweeted by a DICE developer. The video also has music that, as discovered by fans online, can be played backwards to match radio chatter from Battlefield 3. What exactly this means is anyone’s guess, but a few distinct possibilities come to mind.
One possibility is that DICE is planning to use Battlefield 6 to bring the Battlefield franchise back to a modern warfare setting. The most recent Battlefield games have been set during World War 1 and 2, but the massive popularity of 2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare could have very well convinced DICE to switch back to a modern setting for its next game.
Alternatively, this could be hinting at a Battlefield remaster of some kind. Battlefield 3 was hugely popular back in the day, and with no new Battlefield game from DICE coming this year, perhaps EA plans on filling the game with a Battlefield 3 remake. Then again, if such a project exists, one would have imagined that the announcement would have taken place during the EA Play event this past summer.
If a Battlefield 6 announcement is happening soon, fans still shouldn’t expect the game to launch until late 2021. As for where the announcement could take place, one possibility that comes to mind is the PS5 Showcase event on Wednesday, September 16. The PS5 Showcase will focus primarily on PS5 launch title games, but it will also show some games not expected to launch until 2021. It’s entirely within the realm of possibility that fans will get their first look at a proper next-gen Battlefield game at the event, but that remains to be seen.
Battlefield 6 has not been officially announced.
