The upcoming Battle Royale mode in Battlefield 6 is almost confirmed to be arriving soon. So far, we know that the ring is lethal and kills players immediately upon contact, starting you off with only a pistol and a sledgehammer, and allowing players to bring in custom loadouts saved from traditional multiplayer matches.
After the failure of Battlefield 5’s Firestorm, there’s been plenty of speculation about a new Battle Royale in Battlefield 6. Many are curious and hopeful that this new mode will have a slower, more strategic pace than what we’ve seen in other Battle Royale games.
Right now, with the maps available at launch, Battlefield 6 feels small and tiring. The gameplay is fast-paced, similar to Call of Duty, which makes sense since former Call of Duty boss Vince Zampella is leading the project. Unfortunately, Battlefield 6 doesn’t quite match the size and grandeur of maps like Dragon Valley or Empire’s Edge from previous entries. Instead, its maps feel basic—unfinished buildings and dull desert areas crammed into smaller boundaries, which quickly become tiresome less than a month after release.
A Battle Royale with larger maps could change everything. It could allow for longer, more tactical rounds, encouraging careful planning and team coordination. We want squad play to be meaningful again—something missing from the current multiplayer, where you can’t even request orders from a squad leader like in past games. Keeping the weapon balance similar to multiplayer, possibly adding shield plates for more strategic encounters, and maintaining class roles would give players reasons to choose different roles and strategies.
For EA, a Battle Royale seems like a straightforward opportunity. The genre may feel overused, and some fans might be tired of seeing another Battlefield BR attempt, but it’s clear that titles like Call of Duty: Warzone, Apex Legends, and Fortnite continue to dominate and be incredibly popular.
Battlefield 6 has a good foundation for future maps and gameplay modes. Instead of sticking to small, close-quarters maps in Season 1, fans want the game to open up more, allowing players to slow down and explore bigger environments. This would not only give a different experience but also showcase how the game can evolve when taking a different approach.
One area that could benefit from this is vehicle gameplay. Vehicles currently feel overpowered on the small maps, where a tank seems to be around every corner. On larger Battle Royale maps, there’s potential for exciting strategy—coordinating with teammates to take down large vehicles could be thrilling, especially if enough space and time are given.
Of course, this is all hopeful thinking. The Battle Royale mode could follow the fast, chaotic style of Warzone, with weapon drops, goofy skins, and over-the-top, unrealistic weapons. Many want to see the developers stick to a grounded, realistic approach, but only time will tell whether Battlefield’s Battle Royale will meet the expectations of fans or go in a completely different direction.
