Okay, so picture this: EA just threw this Battlefield 6 event, and honestly, it was all about those classic Battlefield vibes we love, right? But, there was this weird bit — like, you know when you’re about to see something but then sort of… don’t? Yeah, that happened.
Anyway, they chatted up some awesome game features, maps, modes, yada yada. But here’s the kicker — there was one thing people were just itching to see, and somehow it was kind of there but also not really? It’s like, blink and you’d miss it. Yep, it’s that battle royale thing everyone’s been gossiping about. Ripple Effect’s got their hands on it, the folks who whipped up Battlefield Portal.
So the funny part — if you call it that — was when this tiny teaser stuck itself at the end like an afterthought. Picture this: players sprinting from this invisible doom — turns out, it’s a big ol’ fire wall. Vehicles and chaos. Sounds explosive, no?
Did they call it battle royale? Nah. Did they hint it might be like that Firestorm from Battlefield 5? Maybe. Kinda. All signs point that way with that flaming ring action.
Honestly, I giggled thinking about EA sticking with the Firestorm name. Like, seriously? Especially with Operation Firestorm map showing up too. Talk about confusing. Somebody’s gonna trip over that, I bet.
Anyway, no solid word if it’s dropping the same day as Battlefield 6 on October 10. They did throw in a bone — members of Battlefield Labs get first dibs. Probably smart, since making it free-to-play à la Call of Duty: Warzone could snag EA that crazy goal of a 100 million players. But yeah, so, where was I? Oh right — teaser’s out, game’s coming, chaos awaits.
