EA has delivered a major teaser for a potential battle royale mode in Battlefield 6, briefly shown during the company’s massive Multiplayer Reveal event. While the presentation focused largely on showcasing new multiplayer features, the final moments hinted at something bigger — possibly a full-fledged battle royale mode that could rival genre titans like Warzone and Fortnite.
Teaser Sparks Speculation About Battlefield’s Return to Battle Royale
At the end of the livestream, viewers caught a quick glimpse of soldiers and vehicles desperately fleeing from an enormous flaming ring engulfing the battlefield. Although no details were confirmed, the imagery strongly aligns with mechanics commonly seen in battle royale games. This subtle hint suggests Battlefield 6 could be revisiting the genre it briefly explored in Battlefield V‘s Firestorm mode — but with much higher stakes and modern polish.
The teaser aligns with EA’s recent push to revitalize the Battlefield franchise. Multiple trailers, impressive world-building, and class-based gameplay have brought fan anticipation to new heights. A recent survey even revealed that excitement for Battlefield 6 is currently surpassing that of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, another major shooter launching later this year.
Multiplayer Reveal Highlights: Classes, Specializations, and Destruction
The Battlefield 6 Multiplayer Reveal didn’t just hint at battle royale — it gave fans a detailed look at the core of its competitive experience. The event showcased four distinct classes, each with their own specializations, tools, and roles in combat. EA also revealed several upcoming maps, including one based in Egypt and another set in Brooklyn. As expected, destructible environments remain a key part of the franchise, further pushing the scale and immersion Battlefield is known for.
Release Date and Open Beta Plans
Battlefield 6 is set to officially launch on October 10, with open beta weekends planned ahead of release. While EA has yet to confirm the specifics of the teased battle royale mode, the excitement surrounding it is already high. If confirmed, it would put Battlefield 6 in direct competition not only with Black Ops 7 but also with the upcoming Gears of War: Reloaded, both of which are expected to launch around the same period.
With the return of large-scale battles, immersive destruction, and now the possibility of a battle royale mode, Battlefield 6 is shaping up to be one of 2025’s most talked-about shooters. Fans won’t have to wait long to find out more, as EA is expected to reveal additional details in the coming weeks.
