EA reveals Battle Royale details ahead of next Battlefield 6 playtest

Battlefield 6 is due out in less than a month, but EA is still hard at work testing big parts of the game. In a recent playtest, the game's custom Portal mode and server browser were put to the test. Now this month, EA is looking to put the finishing touches on the Battle Royale mode. 

Battle Royale returns in Battlefield 6, promising the “deadliest ring in BR”. While many Battle Royale games give players a certain level of survivability outside of the main zone, giving them an opportunity to catch up and stay in the game. In Battlefield 6, Battle Royale is designed around removing these mechanics, creating a situation where if you get caught out, it is game over.

Battle Royale matches in Battlefield 6 will have extra objectives for players to complete as they look to gear up and obtain the best chance of surviving the final rounds. In its announcement post, DICE detailed some of the key elements to the Battle Royale experience in Battlefield 6:

• Map: Battlefield is no stranger to epic maps, and this all-new map has been built for the Battle Royale experience. It features a diverse array of tactical Points of Interest, each with distinct layouts and themes that offer unique gameplay opportunities.
• Vehicles: Players can find common transport vehicles around the map and even unlock powerful armored vehicles to turn the tide of battle. The intent is to offer more ways for players to traverse the map early on in a match and to create interesting combined arms action in the process.
• Tactical Destruction: Destruction will be everywhere in this mode. From creating pathways through walls to toppling buildings, we look forward to seeing players’ ingenuity with destruction and how they use it to defeat their opponents.
• Squadplay: For this test, each match will feature 100 players, organized into 25 four player squads, fighting to be the last one standing. Communicating with your squad through pings, text, or VOIP aims to boost the experience and enhance their tactical options.
• Second chances: Between the Support class revives and Mobile Redeploy options, there are multiple tools to keep your squad in the fight.

If you have already signed up for Battlefield Labs, you should get an email with further details about the timing of the Battle Royale play test. The final game will launch on October 10th for PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5.
