Every Battlefield 6 Rumor as of April 2021 | Game Rant
Intriguingly, gamers know very little official information about the highly anticipated Battlefield 6. While EA has confirmed a spring reveal for the game and a launch window of holiday 2021, the only other real detail is that it will have a larger player count. Apart from some comments about the game that describe it as an ambitious project, players would be fairly in the dark if it were not for all the leaks.
While nearly everything said about Battlefield 6 thus far is essentially speculation, some of the sources leaking the information have proven to be viable in the past. As such, while fans should take the rumors with a grain of salt because of this, they are worthy of discussion and excitement. If some or all of the Battlefield 6 rumors shared thus far prove true, then fans are in for an interesting game that serves as an evolution of the franchise. While more leaks could certainly come throughout the next few weeks, here is everything rumored for the game thus far.
Battlefield 6 will supposedly have some expanded destruction mechanics, with one of the more interesting parts of this rumor being that the game will incorporate natural disasters. Battlefield 6’s natural disaster system will supposedly be used to destroy buildings and damage areas, with leaker Tom Henderson suggesting some of the possible types of disasters. Players can apparently expect floods, tornados, volcanos, and severe storms to be seen in the next game.
Another excited feature that has been rumored is fully destructible cities for Battlefield 6. While maps like Battlefield 4’s Siege of Shanghai allowed the central building to be brought down as part of the “Levolution” mechanic, these new cities will apparently see every building becoming destructible. Whether this means glass on their sides being breakable or the complete crashing of skyscrapers remains to be seen, but every single building being damageable in some way certainly sounds like a promising change.
Battlefield 6 has been compared to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 in the sense that the game will supposedly have a near future setting. This means that players can expect modern weapons alongside some slightly experimental gear, tech, and vehicles, which should make for a fine setting. Specifics of this setting have seen both the concept of World War 3 or the Russian country of Kazakhstan possibly having a role to play, though it is possible that both could be used in the new narrative.
Leakers have also suggested that the game will serve as a soft reboot for the Battlefield franchise, dropping the number 6 in favor for a straightforward title of “Battlefield.” Like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019, this will allow DICE to establish a new tone for the games, though whether the game takes a more or less realistic approach to war remains to be seen. Apparently, the narrative from both Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 would also be abandoned in this new timeline. As such, characters like Dima and Blackburn are unlikely to return.
Going hand in hand with the reboot rumor is the suggestion that Battlefield 6 will have the War Stories feature in place of a traditional singleplayer campaign. Supposedly set to show different parts of the world reacting to and fighting in World War 3, the new War Stories would supposedly feature missions in American suburbs. However, the source on this rumor is a bit less proven than someone like Tom Henderson, meaning that fans should be a bit less confident in information tied to the game's campaign.
Battlelog could be returning in Battlefield 6 as well, with the detailed stat-tracker being a major hit with fans back during Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. While it is unclear how it would be integrated, or if it would have the same forum function as the old website, having a way to analyze every aspect of a match once again would prove beneficial. With the dormant Twitter account for the service recently posting once again, it seems plausible that this feature's comeback is on the horizon.
One of the most exciting rumors about Battlefield 6 is that it will be heavily inspired by Battlefield 3. If this proves true, players could expect to see a huge focus on Rush, a game mode which has become less of a focus in the last few Battlefield entries. Maps that offer a greater sense of flow and progression could also be available as well, with something like Operation Metro and its different phases seen in the newest game. Mechanics from the third numbered Battlefield game could make a return, too, with DICE apparently looking to one of its most popular games in an attempt to replicate its success.
While Battlefield 6 is confirmed to feature more players, EA and DICE have not yet specified the exact count. However, leakers have, with the common claim being that the count will be upped to 128. This would be double the size of Battlefield’s traditional 64-player multiplayer lobbies, fitting with previous comments that the game would be bigger than ever and more ambitious than other games in the series. While Battlefield 6 will need more than a higher number of players to succeed, it should be a great way to add more action to every match.
Some of the most recent rumors for Battlefield 6 comes from an unproven source, but both are wildly interesting. One suggests that Battlefield 6 is a hub game for the entire franchise, including separate servers with mechanics, maps, weapons, and gear from the entire franchise. Described as a way for players to enjoy each Battlefield game from the past, fans will apparently be able to enter playlists that are built around WW2 era fights, with others depicting modern battles. Apparently, servers that mix the technology of the different eras together are also in the cards.
The final rumor for Battlefield 6 is the question on most players’ minds, and that is whether the game will have a battle royale mode. According to leakers, rumors about Battlefield 6’s battle royale offering are legitimate, with the game set to offer one of the popular modes to fans. While Battlefield 5’s Firestorm did not find success, DICE could use its first try at such a mode as a steppingstone to something better. While no details have been provided, those willing to put faith into rumors and leaks will be happy to know that battle royale is on the way.
Battlefield 6 is in development for unspecified platforms.
