Okay, here goes my thoughts—bear with me. So, EA just dropped this big thing about Battlefield 6 and its multiplayer stuff, right? Totally honed in on the usual Battlefield vibes. You know, blowing stuff up, strategy, chaos, all the good bits. But, funny enough, they kinda glossed over something everyone was buzzing about.
They were yammering about maps and modes, which is great, but there was this thing they just, I don’t know, skimmed? So sneaky. I’m talking about that battle royale mode people have been whispering about. Yeah, that’s the one. Ripple Effect is on it—it’s connected to the folks who did Battlefield Portal.
Right at the end, there’s this tiny teaser—blink, and you missed it. I almost did! You see these players booking it away from this massive wall of fire. Vehicles flying about, too. Not shocking, but still cool. They didn’t name-drop battle royale or Firestorm, but that fire ring? Feels like déjà vu with Battlefield 5’s Firestorm.
Honestly, if they keep that Firestorm name, it’s kinda hilarious and a bit confusing. Imagine the old Operation Firestorm map making a comeback. Ha.
And the deets on when it’s dropping? No clue if it’s hitting with Battlefield 6 on October 10. But good news for the Battlefield Labs peeps—they get a sneak peek. Nice little perk.
Oh, and the big deal: it’ll probs be free-to-play. Makes sense, right? Going toe-to-toe with Warzone? EA’s shooting for that magic 100 million players mark, so yeah, going free is a no-brainer.
Anyway, that’s the scoop. Wonder what comes next?
