Battlefield Labs is EA’s new way to get its fans in on the development of Battlefield 6, with players able to check out the upcoming multiplayer shooter ahead of time – all the while offering feedback on what needs to be changed/improved. Ahead of the official launch of Battlefield 6, the teams at EA have now revealed that the next Battlefield Labs test will be focused on the upcoming free-to-play Battle Royale mode.
Making the announcement on their blog, the Battlefield Team wrote: “This week we begin testing a new addition to our Battlefield universe, a Battle Royale built on Battlefield's unique DNA. The information and feedback from players in Battlefield Labs will be incredibly valuable in helping to refine and deliver this experience.”
Of course, given that this is an early test, things are subject to change. That said, as of right now, the BR mode will include:
- An ‘all-new map’ featuring “a diverse array of tactical Points of Interest, each with distinct layouts and themes that offer unique gameplay opportunities”
- Common transport vehicles around the map
- The ability to “unlock powerful armored vehicles to turn the tide of battle”
- Tactical destruction (as expected)
- 100 total players – with 4 players in each squad
- Multiple tools to keep your squad in the fight
- 5 tiers of weapons to loot
- Strike Packages (similar to COD’s support streaks)
Full details on the upcoming Labs test can be found HERE. Of course, all of the above is subject to change based on feedback. That said, it will be highly interesting to see what fans think of this upcoming BR mode – and whether it will be able to directly compete with the likes of Fortnite, Call of Duty: Warzone and EA’s own Apex Legends.
