EA actually put collectively a compelling showcase of Battlefield 6’s multiplayer in a single day. The occasion was laser-focused on the franchise’s core tenets, and the way the groups at Battlefield Studios are bringing them into a brand new technology.
Whereas the presentation was completely satisfied to speak options, maps, and modes – it ignored a specific expertise that many hoped can be proven off through the reveal.
Nicely, the event technically didn’t go away it out totally, it was simply teased so briefly that you will have missed it. We’re speaking, after all, concerning the leaked battle royale mode, which is in improvement at Ripple Impact – the studio behind Battlefield Portal.
We had been handled to a quick trailer on the very finish of the developer phase, earlier than it threw it to the tons of of content material creators who had been about to livestream hours of Battlefield 6 multiplayer gameplay.
The teaser confirmed gamers operating away from one thing off-screen, which was later revealed to be an encroaching wall of fireside. Numerous autos – together with fight autos – had been seen getting used, which isn’t totally stunning.
The teaser didn’t explicitly describe the mode as battle royale, or say whether or not or not it’s going to hold the Firestorm title. Contemplating the approaching ring of fireside, it’s protected to imagine it is a new iteration of Battlefield 5’s ill-fated Firestorm battle royale mode.
It will be, nevertheless, a little bit amusing if EA decides to stay to the Firestorm title, primarily as a result of having a remake of the Operation Firestorm map amongst the sport’s line-up may trigger some confusion.
