So, EA threw this big Battlefield 6 multiplayer shindig last night. Classic move, right? They’re all hyped about their core stuff, and yup, working hard to drag those into the current age. But hold on, they totally skipped over one thing folks were dying to see. Annoying, right?
Okay, not entirely skipped. It was like, there, yet not there? You might’ve blinked and poof—it’s gone. Anyway, this elusive teaser for the battle royale mode from Ripple Effect, the brains behind Battlefield Portal, was what everyone kept whispering about.
The whole shebang ends with this quick clip, right before hundreds of streamers took the plunge with hours of gameplay. Picture this—players just sprinting away from this invisible terror. Later on? Oh, it’s this wall of fire creeping closer. And yeah, vehicles are in the mix too, which felt kinda duh?
Never actually called it battle royale, though probably that’s what they were hinting at with the fiery doom circle thing, a nod to the less-than-stellar Firestorm mode from Battlefield 5. Funny if they stick with the name, considering there’s an Operation Firestorm map already lurking around in the lineup, could trip a few people up.
October 10 is another mystery. No promises if the mode drops with the game, but Battlefield Labs peeps? They get first dibs. And whether Firestorm makes a comeback title-wise or not, bet it’s gonna roll out free to snag players a la Call of Duty: Warzone style. Free is the magic word here if EA’s serious about roping in 100 million gaming aficionados. Fingers crossed.
