Alright, let’s dive into this. Late last night—ugh, couldn’t keep my eyes open for half of it—EA threw this big shindig to show off Battlefield 6’s multiplayer. Can’t say I was thrilled initially, but hey, it’s Battlefield. They stuck to their guns, literally, with all that gunplay and crazy action they’re known for. Nothing revolutionary, but solid stuff.
Honestly, though, felt like they barely mentioned what everyone was buzzing about. You know what I mean, right? That one mode everyone’s whispering about? Yeah, the battle royale bit. Or whatever they’re calling it now. Ripple Effect, those guys who did Battlefield Portal, they’re cooking it up.
So, right, this teaser pops up at the end—practically blink and you miss it. Thank goodness my coffee kicked in just then or I’d have missed it. Basically, it’s players fleeing like there’s no tomorrow. Why? Because there’s this insane wall of fire! Seriously, they’re scrambling like ants. There were vehicles too, as expected—like, duh, it’s Battlefield.
No fancy revelation that it’s officially battle royale, but come on, we all know the score. I mean, with that fire circling in, it’s got Firestorm vibes all over again, though they didn’t say if they’re sticking with that name. Guess they can’t decide either—might get a bit tangled with the Operation Firestorm map, right? I chuckled at that. Bit of a marketing snafu, potentially.
No clear word if this mode drops with Battlefield 6 on October 10. But hey, Battlefield Labs folks get early dibs. Which is cool, I guess?
Whether they keep Firestorm or not, I’d bet it’s going free-to-play. With Call of Duty: Warzone’s success, they’d be silly not to follow suit. I mean, they wanna hit that 100 million player goal. Good luck, EA!
