Attention, gamers, a significant rumor from the Battlefield community has surfaced, which could change things for the Battlefield franchise. According to a tweet by CharlieINTEL, Battlefield 6‘s first season is going to be available in just three days, on October 28th, and it might also come with the new Battle Royale mode that everyone is talking about. So, Battlefield is finally stepping into the battle royale arena.
What does it really mean? The tweet, in a nutshell, says “3 days till Battlefield 6 – Season 1, alongside the rumored Battle Royale release” with October 28, right in our faces. No official confirmation from EA or DICE yet, but the chance is driving the gamers’ community mad.
The reaction is full of varied views; some people will be very happy while others will be the opposite. For instance, one gamer is very upset and impatient, including OhannyGamer7 who wrote “Bro I can’t wait 😭 I’ve been saying that BR’s are not dead, the only problem is that Activision let Warzone die 🚮.” That’s quite a harsh statement against Call of Duty. On the opposite side, Lodyevol seems very sure and says “Bf stepping on cod 🖕🏾,” which … I mean, that’s one way to look at it I suppose.
But not everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. One gamer, xXChoombaXx, made a valid point when he said “3 days until a rumor is crazy” and honestly? They are correct. Rumors have led us astray before, and until we are shown official footage or get an announcement, it will be mere speculation.
Corey’s Gaming Hub asked the question that everyone is thinking: “What day do you think they’ll drop the BR trailer?” It’s a thing that if the release is really in three days, where’s the big marketing, where’s the hype trailer? MRMaliking echoed this frustration when he said “There is no good reason to not show BR by now 🤦♂️” And to be honest, they are right.
Then chaos ensued from Granoahbar_ who proposed the ultimate trolling: “The best thing they could do, season 1 comes out and there’s no BR. Just a short clip going ‘lol you thought’ and they never release it.” Can you visualize the uproar? The internet would literally shatter.
Some people, meanwhile, just… don’t care? BradleeKeola was very direct when he said “WE do not care…” along with a crying laughing emoji, and DivusJulius’s response was “Who cares…We have The Outer Worlds for now,” which, fair enough I guess, but come on – this could be a huge deal for the FPS world.
The timing is crucial here. Warzone’s death has been foretold, Battlefield would really seize the opportunity if it debuted a brilliantly designed and polished Battle Royale mode. It could mean even more than just changing the military shooters’ landscape, it could even switch the customer base entirely, because the new rumor has it that the game mode will be released together with Season 1 which is smart as it will be directly integrated into the main game rather than being a separate download.
But let’s just admit it – Battlefield and BR? These two ideas belong together, they are literally made for each other. Destruction physics, huge maps, and vehicle warfare – all these in one game would not only create but rather an extremely thrilling BR experience. Imagine tearing down buildings on other teams or driving tanks into the last battle to get the win. The options are just crazy.
At the moment, the community is polarized between the two extreme positions of unrealistic hype and complete skepticism, which is quite common nowadays for gaming rumors. Of course, there are people who are literally counting down the hours until the official release, but there are also those who want proof before they believe it. And then there are those in the middle who have decided to wait and see what happens, either a real BR mode or the biggest gaming prank in history.
What is surprising is that the developers are now in a very difficult position. If they do not release a BR mode now after all the rumors and the community waiting even that is going to be a disappointment. On the other hand, if they come up with a BR that is super cool? A game changer. An absolute game changer.
The clock is ticking for these last three days, and the big question is whether Battlefield has something up its sleeve that can compete with the already established BR giants. The chance is there for sure, but the journey from potential to implementation might be quite tricky. A lot of games have tried their luck in the battle royale segment and… let’s just say not all of them were successful.
No matter if you’re one of the hype fans, the skeptics, or just sitting back and watching, October 28th is going to be a day to remember for FPS gamers. We might either get a new player in the battle royale market or witness one of the biggest “gotcha” moments in the history of gaming. Regardless, it’s going to be a fascinating story to follow.
