Reboot et Old-gen

Two years have passed since the release of Battlefield V, and the players firmly await his worthy successor, Battlefield 6 so. Regarding the latest information, the title will land on PC and next-gen, but also on old-gen (only the Switch will be deprived of it) according to Tom Henderson, a real insider of the JV sphere. But we know that at EA, Battlefield 6 is developed as an old-gen game. And it is even said that it represents the technical showcase of the American studio for this year. We must therefore put the package.

In any case, the rather positive leaks are circulating quickly. And other big information would have leaked. Still according to Tom Henderson, Battlefield 6 would be greatly inspired by Battlefield 3, and would even take on the accents of a slight reboot of the saga.

Cards playable for up to 128 players are also mentioned, but these rumors already date from last year. What is rather new is that the game would be releasing on both newer and older consoles. #gaming pic.twitter.com/LLH8S96jz9

Maps of 128 players, and a royal battle?

Also, as it was announced last August, the game would allow gamers to compete on maps for up to 128 players (this information seems to reappear with more seriousness today since several journalists specializing in video games have confirmed this). However, the technical deficiencies of the PS4 and Xbox One would only allow to compete in 32 vs 32, but the old-gen version would be worn by another studio within Dice.

Also, the success of the Warzone mode seems to give ideas at Electronic Arts since a battle royale mode is also in development. However, no tangible proof of such an assertion has been announced.

There is also an increased interest in Battle Royale due to the success of Warzone. No confirmation of a BR in the next Battlefield yet, but could EA and DICE schedule an F2P Battlefield experience ? “said Tom Henderson on Twitter

Some time ago, in addition to the size of the maps, Tom Henderson announced that the saga would refocus on the theme of modern warfare, and perhaps more precisely on a fictitious third world war between NATO and Russia.

All these rumors are obviously to be taken more or less seriously, but we know that some of Tom Henderson’s words have been proven to be true in the past. So let’s stay alert.
