Rumor: Battlefield 6 Will Have Massive Multiplayer Count and Battle Royale Mode

In a new post to r/battlefield6, user bf6leaker listed some eye-catching new features they claim are planned for this year’s Battlefield 6, including an impressive new player count in multiplayer matches and a new battle royale mode.

Battlefield 6 is an upcoming entry in the extremely popular FPS series from DICE and EA. The series is best known for its large-scale multiplayer matches, its fusion of vehicular and on-foot combat, and its pioneering of DICE’s Frostbite engine that allows for destructibility on a whole new scale. Battlefield 6 has been confirmed to be coming this year and has the potential to be a turning point for the series after the series’ last entry in 2018 saw a steep drop in sales from its predecessor.

If bf6leaker’s posted leaks are accurate, DICE is taking some big steps to ensure that Battlefield 6 is the next big entry in the series. The user claims to have gotten the information by getting someone close to the game to answer some questions for them, with a moderator of the subreddit claiming to have confirmed their contact without being able to share their proof for obvious reasons. Perhaps the least surprising of all the claims made in the post is the confirmation that Battlefield 6 will have a battle royale when it ships. The post also claims that some game modes will be able to handle 128 player matches, as well as some fan-favorite maps as Locker, Wake Island, and Metro making a return.

The inclusion of a new battle royale is not very surprising at all. The genre is still extremely popular, and Battlefield 5 had its own battle royale, Firestorm. The return of select fan-favorite maps is also pretty standard for multiplayer FPS games, and the increase in player count in matches is a logical step for the series to take advantage of the new generation of home consoles. The most surprising claim in the post is that Battlefield 6 is a collection of all previous games in the series as well as an entirely new title, allowing players to set up servers playing previous games exclusively, or to even mix the assets and mechanics from different games into their matches.

Battlefield 6 acting similarly to Halo: The Master Chief Collection and grouping all previous Battlefield titles in one package is an exciting concept but also does seem fairly far-fetched. Especially with how few details the post has about such a large and surprising feature. The unconfirmed nature of the post also does not help add to its credibility. Big titles are always subject to plenty of leaks and speculation, with Battlefield 6 being no different. However, if Battlefield 6 aims to release this year, a reveal should be coming soon enough, meaning fans shouldn’t have to wait too long to finally get some answers on what to expect.

Battlefield 6 is in development for unspecified platforms.
