Battlefield 6 to Implement Unique Approach to Skins Compared to Call of Duty

Alright, so picture this: Battlefield 6 is coming soon, and there’s this buzz around how it’s gonna look and feel, especially when it comes to the in-game skins. The devs are saying it’s gonna be more “grounded,” which I guess means less wild and crazy outfits compared to games like Call of Duty. Honestly, it’s kind of refreshing, right? Like, sometimes you just wanna shoot things without feeling like you’re in a cartoon.

Anyway, folks have been curious about what kind of cosmetics are gonna be in the game. I mean, we’ve all seen how Call of Duty throws in everything from movie icons like Rambo to, uh, Snoop Dogg? Yeah, Snoop! But remember when they added Beavis and Butt-Head? Man, that was a trip—some people loved it, others were just like, “What even is this?” Like, are we gaming or hosting a ’90s rerun?

So, amid all this colorful chaos, the folks making Battlefield, especially the ones at DICE, are chatting about keeping things a bit more, how do I say, reality-based? Producer Alexia Christofi mentioned that while cool skins are on their radar, they want them to make sense. You know, like, actual military vibes. I’m picturing camo and stuff, not ninja turtles. And then David Sirland pops in to point out that their class system even decides the look. Like, if you’re sneaky, you get the Ghillie stuff. But, hey, they’re leaving room for future tweaks, as long as it fits the battle universe or whatever.

This whole thing is kinda reassuring, especially for those who think Call of Duty’s sliding into Fortnite’s playbook with all those flashy characters. Sure, bringing in popular figures can boost a game’s profile, right? But it might also mess with the immersion—like, you’re in a war zone, and boom, here comes Squid Game. It’s all about finding that balance, I guess.

With the game dropping soon, there’s a bit of wait to see fully what collaborations are in store. Until then, why not jump into the beta? Or maybe not, if you’re like me and just want to wait for the full chaos later.

Okay, I may have veered off a bit, but you get the vibe? It’s all about staying true to that gritty military feel. Or maybe that’s just what they’re selling. Who knows. Anyway—yeah—I think that’s it.
