As for the game’s release date, thankfully there is less speculation. With EA confirming last year that Battlefield 6 will drop in holiday 2021 , players have a far narrower window to look at for a potential release date. The month of December is plausible, given the phrasing used in the announcement, and with Call of Duty usually seizing the month of November this month would make even more sense. While this could change, assuming DICE wants to ensure that Battlefield gets ahead of Call of Duty instead of coming after, for now players should expect Battlefield 6 to drop at the tail end of 2

Another rumor building off the idea that Battlefield 6 will have several features from Battlefield 3 would see the Battlelog returning . With the account randomly becoming active again after being dormant for half a decade, players believe that the popular forum and stat-tracking website will be making a comeback. Allowing players to look at stats on each map, detailed breakdowns on each weapon, and track progress toward their next unlocks, Battlelog was a useful tool that many made use of in Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 2042 ranking|https://battlefield2042play.com/ 4 . Battlelog's return is not confirmed, though having access to clan tools, leaderboards, and detailed stat-tracking would be exciting for Battlefield

As for Need for Speed , it's a completely different story. The franchise's overall decline is attributed to multiple Need for Speed games that weren't able to match previous successes like 2010's Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, or any of the earlier titles like Underground or Most Wanted . The most recent entry, Need for Speed Heat , made massive strides and improvements over previous iterations, but it still paled in comparison to games almost a decade old. Before that, Need for Speed Payback , Need for Speed 2015, Need for Speed Rivals , 2012's Need for Speed: Most Wanted , and Need for Speed: The Run were all critically and commercially lackluster entr

EA's been in a strange place the last few years, with its premier non-sports titles ending up on the backfoot compared to similar titles. Battlefield 5 's disappointment made way for games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare , and now Black Ops Cold War , at the mainstream first-person shooters. Need for Speed has been supplanted by simulatory and arcade-like experiences such as Forza Horizon or Dirt 5 . Ironically enough, EA even acquired Codemasters to expand its racing catalogue beyond just Need for Speed . Yet, while Codemasters will continue with its own independent racing projects, Need for Speed 's developer will assist in Battlefield development this y

If DICE fans return or try one game on this list, though, it needs to be Battlefield 3 . The supposed inspiration for Battlefield 6 , this modern Battlefield game seemed to do everything right — with many seeing the game as the peak of the franchise and DICE’s entire catalog of games. Boasting an extensive lineup of weapons, a great collection of DLC, and a version of Rush that was just as strong as the Bad Company versions of the mode, it is hard not to be excited about Battlefield 6 using this game as an exam

The exec went on to note that a rough cut of the Battlefield 6 trailer has already been finished and seen internally. At this rate, it's entirely possible the game could be revealed as soon as April. "We have an exceptional year ahead with our next Battlefield, so we thank everyone for coming together with the energy and determination to do something special," Miele went on to say. "We’ve recently seen the first version of the reveal trailer for Battlefield and it’s shaping up to be a truly amazing first look at this groundbreaking game. I think fans are going to love

It may feel like it's been months since fans got any update about the next Battlefield game, but thanks to a recent EA earnings call, fans now know that Battlefield 6 is coming this year , with a full reveal of the game slated for spring. While a new entry in the Battlefield franchise is always an exciting time, Battlefield 6 has some stiff competition in Call of D

Rumors suggest Battlefield 6 could take players back to the modern-day setting , which has been notably absent since Battlefield 4 in 2013. The last two entries in the series, Battlefield 1 and V , have taken players back in time to both World War I and II respectively. After V failed to make a notable impression, it's likely EA is going to try and win back its audience by going back to the modern day setting. Both Battlefield 3 and 4 thrived in their modern day settings, offering high levels of destruction with collapsible skyscrapers and all-out warfare with helicopters, jets, tanks, and more. With EA calling specific attention to its return of "all-out military warfare" it seems to indicate the modern day setting is return

By far the most unique game on this list, Mirror’s Edge is not actually a first-person shooter. Further, the game is entirely singleplayer, as it focuses on players controlling protagonist Faith while she makes her way through a futuristic city. In the world of Mirror’s Edge , everyone is under supervision and everything is coated in shades of white to create a state of normalcy, with Faith being a runner that delivers secret packages across the city. Telling an interesting story of crime in a crimeless world, Mirror’s Edge is a game worth experiencing for fans of DICE’s w
