EA definitely put collectively a compelling showcase of Battlefield 6’s multiplayer in a single day. The occasion was laser-focused on the franchise’s core tenets, and the way the groups at Battlefield Studios are bringing them into a brand new era.
Whereas the presentation was glad to speak options, maps, and modes – it overlooked a selected expertise that many hoped could be proven off through the reveal.
Nicely, the occasion technically didn’t go away it out fully, it was simply teased so briefly that you will have missed it. We’re speaking, after all, in regards to the leaked battle royale mode, which is in improvement at Ripple Impact – the studio behind Battlefield Portal.
We have been handled to a short trailer on the very finish of the developer phase, earlier than it threw it to the a whole lot of content material creators who have been about to livestream hours of Battlefield 6 multiplayer gameplay.
The teaser confirmed gamers working away from one thing off-screen, which was later revealed to be an encroaching wall of fireside. Varied automobiles – together with fight automobiles – have been seen getting used, which isn’t fully stunning.
