Okay, so here’s the thing—last night EA threw this crazy showcase thing for Battlefield 6’s multiplayer. And man, was it something. They went all out on their franchise goodies, trying to show how they’re making it all fresh and exciting again. Did they pull it off? Well, let’s dive in.
Picture this: they’re talking up features, spouting off about maps and modes like they’re serving hotcakes. But something was just… missing? Or maybe it wasn’t entirely missing. More like blink-and-you-miss-it. Yeah, I’m talking about that battle royale mode everyone’s been whispering about. It’s the one that Ripple Effect is supposedly cooking up. You know, the crew that did Battlefield Portal.
So they teased us. Just a tiny glimpse at the end, after the devs did their thing. Sneaky, right? With the whole internet chomping at the bit to livestream hours and hours of frantic Battlefield 6 action, they slip in this teaser with players hightailing it from some off-screen madness.
And get this—a wall of fire. Like, whoa. Vehicles everywhere too, those monster trucks and combat beasts we all expected. But plot twist: are they naming it Firestorm again? Because if they do, having the Operation Firestorm map in there too could get a bit… awkward? Just me, or does anyone else find that hilarious?
Anyway, did they spill the beans on whether this battle royale is hitting us alongside Battlefield 6 on October 10th? Nah. But they did say anyone in Battlefield Labs is gonna play it real soon.
Oh, and here’s a neat guess: whatever they call this mode, it’s probably gonna be free. Yep, EA’s got their sights on a big ol’ number of players, something like 100 million. So think Call of Duty: Warzone style, no cost involved. Sounds like they mean business.
And now? Well, I’m just sitting here, thinking about that fire wall and how a night of teasing can leave you with a whole load of questions. Classic EA, right?
