Battlefield 6 Release Date and Rumors: Battle Royale, 128 Players and Crossplay (February 2021)

The new Battlefield is being developed by EA, and it is known that it will be released as Battlefield 6. While there is not yet broad information about the game's overall content, EA's statement says that Battlefield 6 will set an example for new-generation games and carve out its own place. While noting, even if in a mocking tone, that with this game they will earn more praise than ever, they said they have complete confidence in it.

After this statement, we too have been eagerly awaiting the game's release. All the information on the game's release date, game modes and structure is in this article!

Is the Battlefield 6 Release Date Known?

Although no clear release date has been given for Battlefield 6, it has become certain that it will come out between September 2021 and October 2021.

EA CEO Wilson said not long ago that we would see Battlefield 6 in spring 2021 and that they could release the game in the 2021 holiday season. However, it has been understood that the game's release date has been postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Andrew Wilson also signaled that, thanks to the special hardware of the new PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles, they will build a structure with more players than ever and bring immersive battles to life.

A Top-Down Look at the Battlefield 6 Trailer

Although EA Dice has not yet released a Battlefield 6 trailer, the upcoming new Battlefield was shown in a tech trailer during EA Play 2020. It is hard to say anything definite from this trailer because it only shows facial animations and soldiers engaged in large numbers of battles.

But if we must draw a conclusion from what we watched, it stood out that the visuals, and especially the facial animations, look much more realistic than in older games and that the battlefields have expanded considerably.

EA studio head Laura Miele said: "We are working at a scale never before seen in any game, and we continue to create spectacular battles with great care." Considering these statements, a truly special battle experience awaits us. Let's take a look at the trailer:

What Are the Battlefield 6 News and Rumors? What Will Its Story Be?

The first thing we can say about Battlefield 6 is that it will be playable across different platforms and may have 128-player maps.

Viral Junkie owner Tom Henderson said in a video that Battlefield 6 looks like a softer version of Battlefield 3 set in the modern era.

According to rumors, Battlefield 6 is planned to cover World War III and be set in modern times. After Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 5, which covered World War I and II, the game looks set to offer us gamers a new story this time.

Henderson also claimed that developer EA Dice designed some maps with the 128-player mode, made possible by the power of the newest-generation consoles, in mind. From his source, he stated that these 128-player maps will exist, but that Battlefield's standard 32 v 32 game modes (64 players) will remain available. It was also shared that the option for players to join the 128-player mode whenever they want has been added.

In addition, PS4 and Xbox One players will not benefit from the visual quality of PS5 and Xbox Series X players, and slightly lower quality will be observed on older consoles.

Which Platforms Will Battlefield 6 Be On?

It is confirmed that the game will be on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC platforms. But we think the game will also come to PS4 and Xbox One.

Will Battlefield 6 Have a Battle Royale Mode?

According to information Henderson received, Battlefield Battle Royale may exist, and he said they want to create their own version similar to the Call of Duty Warzone version, which Activision implemented successfully and got good results from.

Henderson was previously right in his claim that Battlefield 6 would be set in the modern era.

But this is still just a rumor. I think we can get clearer information on the matter later on.

What New Features Could Come to Battlefield 6?

• Free Battle Royale Mode

Battlefield 5 had a Battle Royale mode called Firestorm, but those who wanted to play this mode had to buy Battlefield 5. This time we think Dice will offer a Battle Royale mode that can be obtained separately from the main game and is free to play, as was done in Call of Duty: Warzone.

• Crossplay

We think this feature, which we did not see in Battlefield 5, that is, the crossplay mode that will let PS, Xbox and PC players play together whichever platform they are on, will come to Battlefield 6.

• More Modes

At the Battlefield 5 launch we did not see many modes and felt the game was a bit bare. It is said that more modes and features will come with Battlefield 6.

• Online Play in Local Mode

While playing online is nice for everyone, being able to play offline mode among friends is also one of the modes we are waiting for. With this mode, we too will be able to spend a good time with our friends in an environment where no one interferes.
