We’ve finally got a few details about the incoming Battlefield battle royale mode, which was teased during the Battlefield 6<\/a> reveal event and is rumored to be a free-to-play<\/a> mode coming sometime after the October launch of Battlefield 6 itself.<\/p>\n

In a Steam post<\/a> about an upcoming Battlefield Labs test of the mode, the developers explain how they intend to fuse the battle royale format with the “core Battlefield pillars of class-based squadplay, tactical destruction, and vehicle combat”<\/p>\n

One unusual decision is to deliver instant death to anyone caught in the circle that closes around the map.<\/p>\n

“We set out to bring the most dangerous ring in gaming to Battle Royale that instantly kills players upon contact,” wrote the dev team. “With urgent warnings as the fire approaches, soldiers will be pushed into more intense firefights as the game space continues to shrink.<\/p>\n

“There’s no jumping in and out of it, no using it for cover, no walking through it\u2014if you get caught in it, you are done. We’re excited to see how the ring affects the pace of the game and how it creates spontaneous showdowns.”<\/p>\n

I’ve seen a clip or two of players camping the edge of the circle in Apex Legends and other battle royale games, which seems fun in its own way (at least for the campers), and honestly it had never occurred to me to imagine what it would be like if the ring were less of a stern warning and more of an absolute smiting.<\/p>\n

Maybe that’ll be the magic ingredient that makes this battle royale mode stand out amid so much competition?<\/p>\n

The post also confirms some other, more expected details about the mode:<\/p>\n
