Via Official PlayStation Magazine , which can be viewed here , Battlefield 6 appears on a list of confirmed titles for the PlayStation 5, alongside other EA properties like Dragon Age 4 and The Sims 5 . EA has doubled down on both the consoles and release date after their announcements last month, suggesting progress is going well and no hiccups or delays are expected. In fact, OSM claims that details will be coming shortly, asking users to "come back next issue for more info". While what the "more info" pertains to is entirely up to speculation, it's likely that the setting along with any major gameplay changes would be revealed, another signal that DICE are going ahead steadily on developm

A modern setting is a good way for Battlefield to create some free marketing for a few reasons. Games set in modern times tend to stir up more controversy due to their portrayals of violence, which means more headlines and time on the news. That translates to more eyeballs and more sales, even if that was never the intention for those reporting Battlefield 2042hq`s statement on its official blog controversial aspects of the game. A modern setting is also bound to draw comparisons to Modern Warfare, which is another way to market the game without spending a penny on advertisements, as comparison videos are bound to flood YouTube whenever a trailer relea

As far as FPS franchises go, it's hard to dispute Battlefield as one of the goliaths. While it lacks the same level of success as the Call of Duty franchise, Battlefield has consistently delivered big, bold matches for fans that want something just a little bit more complex than the typical run and gun gameplay. But if ever there was a time for Battlefield 6 to see the franchise's return to a modern setting, it's

Before the popularization of battle royale shooters , Battlefield games were pioneering massive maps, large-scale tactics, and huge numbers of players clashing in a single game. However, in the time since Battlefield introduced players to player counts of 64 and up, games like PUBG , Fortnite , Apex Legends , and Call of Duty: Warzone have far surpassed Battlefield 's numbers and scale. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare even has Ground War, which is essentially the core Battlefield -sized-map experience offered alongside all the other CoD game mo

Battlefield needs to reinvent its image , and that could be as simple as looking to the past to inspire the future. The Bad Company games in particular would be a good start, as these games never truly took themselves seriously. Even though Bad Company 2 eschewed a lot of the silliness from the first game, multiplayer in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was the right balance of simulation vs. fun factor. Battlefield could definitely use a dose of that nowadays, especially after Battlefield

Regardless, it will be some time until Battlefield fans find out which leaker is correct and the friendly debate on the latest game's fan appeal is fully settled. Until then, messing around with the builds of Battlefield maps in Minecraft seems like a fun way for hardcore fans to start the waiting process for the reveal, as it seems like it is going to be a long

Nowadays similar functionality is available in newer Battlefield games, but it feels more like an add-on than a prominent gameplay mechanic. Sure, you can still make holes in walls with your favorite explosive ordinance, but it's generally in service to just converting a wall into a doorway. There's no more purposeful destruction like in previous Battlefield titles . A prime example would be Bad Company 2 's Arica Harbor map, which has a city section densely populated with buildings. On the second attack wave of Rush, the attacking team largely has no proper sightlines without damaging or taking down most of the buildings. The game literally encourages the attacking team to utilize destruction to open up the map more and force an advantage over the defending t

Consider 2017's Battlefront 2 , a Star Wars property that borrows many of the same gameplay elements from Battlefield . There was an undeniably dedicated amount of work put into the singleplayer story of Battlefront 2 , and yet it was one of the lesser portions of that game. The Star Wars franchise is (more or less) known for engaging storytelling, but for a main IP like Star Wars ' Battlefront to have a story mode that's largely ignored or glossed over, it shows that EA's shooter gameplay carries itself over an engrossing storyline. Battlefield doesn't even have an established ethos or universe to draw from like Star Wars , so another story campaign in Battlefield likely won't do well unless it's revolution

Reliable Call of Duty leaker Tom Henderson recently tweeted out a response to another leaker named Anton Logvinov. The Russia-based insider, while echoing claims that the game is running well, claimed that the game is something fans will not want. Henderson describes himself as a "long time fan of the Battlefield franchise" and says that he does "believe it’s what fans want," so it will be interesting to see which leaker is ultimately correct regarding Battlefield
