The best evidence to date for a Battle Royale mode inBattlefield 6has finally been exposed by aBattlefielddataminer. This revelation comes after months of speculation and seemingly confirms previous rumors about the new game mode. In addition to those rumors, it was also recently revealed thatBattlefield 6is targeting a player base of at least 100 million, which would be the largest number of players in the history of theBattlefieldfranchise.
This leak comes from the same source who found the first evidence of aBattle Royale mode inBattlefield 6, and it appears pretty irrefutable. According to the previous information this dataminer found, the newBattlefieldBattle Royale mode will be similar to its competitors, but it will include some interesting new features that could set it apart from other titles on the market.
TheBattlefielddataminer Temporyal released a video cliprevealing the introductory cutscene to the fabled Battle Royale mode, which has since been taken down by a copyright claim. This clip was approximately 7 seconds long, and it showed a squadron of helicopters flying into a battle, which is a scene that might sound recognizable to fans of theBattle Royale mode inCall of Duty: Warzone. Included with the clip were the details that this scene was on “a map set in California,” insertion was taking place “via CH-47 Chinook,” and there was a “destructive ring made of a compound called ‘NXC.'”

Though the leak was taken down, the details it revealed can still give fans an idea of what to expect from the next title in this franchise. Although this reveal comes at a time when industry reports indicate shrinking interest in Battle Royale games, there are reasons to believe that this trend is related to other factors than a general disinterest in the genre. The statistics actually indicate thatfans of the genre are playingFortnitemorethan any other title with this game mode, as the player base for this industry titan now accounts for 77% of all time spent playing a Battle Royale title.
This data might indicate that several Battle Royale developers are struggling to keep gamers interested, but if EA and DICE can learn from the mistakes of competitors in the market,Battlefield 6could very well accomplish its goals of a large player base. Even amidst all of these leaks, theBattlefield6 Summer Revealpromised by EA and Battlefield Studios is still scheduled to take place, although no official date for the event has been announced.
