Authoritative journalist and insider Tom Henderson shared exclusive details of the new Battlefield part, the first concept art of which was published a few days ago.

Here's What We Know

Henderson's sources reported a lot of interesting facts about the game and brief theses are as follows:

  • the events of the shooter will unfold between 2027 and 2030;
  • the story campaign will tell about the confrontation of several NATO countries against a huge private military company (previously rumoured to be Russian);
  • major locations include Gibraltar and the US;
  • Ripple Effect studio is developing a separate Battlefield mode in a Battle royal format;
  • multiplayer modes will feature 10 maps and 45 weapons, twice as many as Battlefield 2042;
  • Tom Henderson confirmed the information that the developers will try to surprise with an advanced object destructibility system, but he is not sure if EA will return to the levolution technology used in the previous instalments;
  • the new Battlefield will have more opportunities for interaction, for example, players will be able to pick up and move wounded fighters to a safe place;
  • the developers have not yet decided on the name of the game, at the moment polls are being conducted, in which the main options are Battlefield and Battlefield 6.

Electronic Arts plans to launch public testing of the new game in 2025 and Henderson suggests that the Community Test Environment (CTE) programme, which was used in the development of Battlefield 1 and 4, will once again be used.
