When Battlefield is firing on all cylinders, it’s a thing to behold: tactical, dynamic, and immersive, there isn’t much else like it out there. Some games have tried to emulate the feel of Battlefield, admittedly with mixed results, so a brand new, numbered entry in one of the best FPS series is something to get excited about.
The last Battlefield game that graced our screens was 2042, and it left a bitter taste for some, having eschewed some of the core principles that made the multiplayer game great. Battlefield 6 has learned from those mistakes, as you can read about in our Battlefield 6 review. It manages to recapture some of that early magic and create something great for veterans of the series and fresh-faced recruits alike.

Battlefield 6 trailers
We first got a glimpse of the future of Battlefield with the BF6 reveal trailer. It starts slow, with the usual political meandering that precedes violence, but once it gets going, it really gets going. Infantry combat, vehicle combat, huge mechanized assaults on fortified locations – this is what Battlefield is about. We even get a hint at the scope of destruction coming with the next installment, with dams bursting, skyscrapers toppling, and suspension bridges being totally decimated.
Battlefield 6 battle royale
Taking the next step from the ill-fated Firestorm, there are rumors that Battlefield 6 will host its very own battle royale mode. Getting in fairly early to the BR scene, BF5 tried to blaze the trail with its Firestorm mode, but a clunky user interface, slow pace, and ultimately a lack of support meant that the game mode was doomed to fail.
Many years have passed since then, and with any luck, many lessons have been learned. Warzone is going stronger than ever, showing that there is value in diversifying and offering a quality product with continued support. Nobody does scale like Battlefield, and it will be interesting to see if they can finally translate that to the battle royale genre.
Firestorm was teased during the multiplayer reveal, with a video showing the landscape being decimated by an ever-moving fiery circle. We can be fairly sure this heralds the return of the cult BR, but nothing has been officially confirmed yet.
Will the BF6 battle royale be free?
We aren’t 100% certain whether the BF6 BR will be free to play, but considering the phenomenal success of Warzone and the amount of money that’s brought in over the years, we would suspect so. It’s likely to be a gateway to more sales of the main game or a vehicle for skins and battle passes; we can’t see the BF6 BR being a paid-for game.
That’s everything there is to know about Battlefield 6, but rest assured, we’re scanning the horizon for all BF6 news. For now, take a look at the best new PC games you can play right now, and the most exciting upcoming PC games for other things you can look forward to.
