Battlefield 6’s Battle Royale Mode May Be Delayed at Launch

Sure, let me try to rewrite that for you.

So, here’s the latest from the grapevine—EA’s supposedly holding back its Battle Royale mode for Battlefield 6 until well after the main game hits the shelves. Like, we might be talking months here. Not that it’s a total shocker given all the whispers floating around, but still, that’s a wait. You might be thinking, what’s taking them so long? Maybe they’re just tinkering away behind closed doors.

Speaking of secrets, a few lucky fans have already been sneaking peeks through exclusive playtests this past year. The rest of us got tossed a bone with the official reveal trailer on July 24. And man, it’s like high-octane single-player action galore! Explosions, gunfights—the works. But if you’re more of a multiplayer fiend like me, you’ll have to twiddle your thumbs until July 31, when EA finally pulls back the curtain on that.

Now, shift gears for a sec. Everyone’s been buzzing about this Battle Royale trend, and naturally, Battlefield 6 was bound to join the party, right? No surprise there. Word is, after launching the main game, the Battle Royale bit will follow, much like Call of Duty did with theirs. According to some streamer dude named RivaLxfactor, insiders told him this mode will drop free-to-play, but hey, plans change—so who knows?

Fast-forwarding to the big question: When’s it hitting shelves? EA’s zipped their lips on a date, but whispers say October could be it. If that’s true, you might not see the Battle Royale until late December or January. Not that it’s unheard of, remember Call of Duty: Warzone? It showed up five months after Modern Warfare. I guess EA’s playing the long game, or maybe just still piecing everything together.

Even without this Battle Royale buzzword, fans are all in a tizzy for Battlefield 6. Just one hour post-drop, the reveal trailer snatched more likes than Black Ops 7 managed in over a month. That’s kinda wild, right? Yesterday’s trailer was already clocking almost 200,000 likes in its first hour—meanwhile, Call of Duty’s latest is kinda lagging behind at 140,000. Go figure.

So yeah, we’ll see what shakes loose closer to launch, but one thing’s buzzing clear: people are hyped. Up next, we wait. Like a lot.
