Oh man, so EA did this whole multiplayer reveal thing for Battlefield 6, right? And yeah, it had all the usual jazz—maps, modes, all that core stuff fans geek out about. But you know what? They kinda left out something big. Or maybe “left out” isn’t the right word. More like, snuck it in so quietly you could blink and miss it. Anyway, I’m rambling.
So, everybody’s buzzing about this battle royale mode. It’s like the worst kept secret ever. Ripple Effect, those guys who brought us Battlefield Portal, they’re working on it. There was this tiny clip right before they handed over to a bunch of streamers who were gonna dive into some hardcore gaming action. I think I almost fell off my chair when I saw it. Players sprinting for dear life from some wall of fire? Yeah, classic dramatic twist. And then vehicles—lots of them. Because why run when you can drive, right?
But hey, nobody actually called it a battle royale. Or even said the name “Firestorm.” But come on, with that fiery ring of doom? It’s got Firestorm vibes all over it. Kinda like a nod to Battlefield 5’s Firestorm mode, which, let’s face it, didn’t exactly win a popularity contest.
Oh, and the name—Firestorm. I chuckled a bit imagining the chaos if they keep that name, especially since there’s an Operation Firestorm map. Imagine the confusion! “Hey, let’s play Firestorm!” “Which one?” facepalm
Nope, no date drop on when this mode hits, but they did mention that folks in Battlefield Labs—yeah, those insiders—will get a sneak peek soon-ish. Fingers crossed!
And one more thing—sort of a biggie—this battle royale thing will probably be free-to-play. Think Call of Duty: Warzone style. Makes sense, though. You want a hundred million players? You don’t charge entry. It’s like leaving candy at the door on Halloween—everyone’s gonna show up.
So there you have it. Battlefield 6, a tease of madness, and the endless wait for October 10. Maybe I’ll manage my cookies till then. Or maybe not.
