Leaked Battlefield 6 Battle Royale Mode is Battlefield Labs’ Next Test—That’s All for Now

Alright, so EA just threw this big shindig for Battlefield 6’s multiplayer. It was late at night, and I was half-asleep, but hey, that’s when they wanted to flaunt their shiny stuff. Kinda wild to see how focused they were, talking about the core stuff like maps and modes. Yet, something was missing—like when you’re making a sandwich and realize you forgot the cheese.

But here’s the kicker, or maybe just a nudge—there was this blink-and-you-miss-it hint of something juicy. That secret sauce everyone was itching to see? Ripple Effect, the folks who did Battlefield Portal, are making this battle royale mode thing. Yep, just a quick tease at the end, as if they were playing peekaboo or something, right before throwing it out to all those livestreamers diving into hours of gameplay. Crazy, huh?

There was this teaser bit showing people skedaddling from… well, something fiery and scary off-screen. Gotta admit, made me think of those old disaster movies. Loads of vehicles too, cause what’s Battlefield without big, roaring machines? Though, honestly, it didn’t scream “battle royale” right off the bat, but I mean, c’mon, the whole fiery thing? Might as well have been waving a “Firestorm Part 2” sign.

Oh, and here’s a funny thing—imagine sticking with the name “Firestorm.” That would be something, especially when there’s this map called Operation Firestorm. Confusing? Yeah, that’s an understatement.

So, was there a date or something mentioned about this mystery mode? Not really—it’s all shrouded in suspense. But, Battlefield Labs folks are getting a sneak peek soon, apparently. And if it doesn’t inherit the “Firestorm” name, it’ll probably still be free-for-all, kind of like that Warzone thing. Makes sense if they wanna hit the big 100 million player mark they’re shooting for. Fingers crossed, right?

Anyway—wait, where was I? Oh yeah, let’s see what happens next.
