The newBattlefieldgame is being developed by the largest team ever. While the core DICE studio is leading development, it is beingassisted byNeed for Speedstudio Criterionas well as DICE LA.

Again, specifics as to what the newBattlefieldwill entail weren’t shared, but the developers did offer some more teases. According to DICE, thenewBattlefieldgamewill be everything that fans love aboutBattlefieldgames already, but taken to the next level. It’s described as “epic scale” warfare filled with “crazy, unexpected moments” and “game-changing destruction.” DICE is promising massive battles with a higher player count than before. And it’s said that all of this is being “brought to life” thanks to next-gen consoles and PCs.
While these statements lack details, they do seem to allude to what fans have been hearing about the newBattlefieldgame through leaks. Leakers have said that thenewBattlefieldgame will be next-gen only, so that it’s not held back by the PS4 and Xbox One’s lack of horsepower compared to PS5 and Xbox Series X. This statement doesn’t outright confirm that, but it does seem to point in that direction.
Leaks have also teased that the newBattlefieldwill have an especially high player count, and that seems to be supported by DICE’s statements as well. The rumors say that matches in the newBattlefieldgame will have up to 128 players at any given time, but an exact player count wasn’t provided by DICE. Leaks have also suggested thatBattlefield 6will have a battle royale mode, and so that will likely have a high player count as well.
As for “game-changing destruction,” previous leaks have said that the newBattlefieldwill have destructible environments on a scale never seen before, with players reportedly able to level entire cities. Whether or not that’s exactly howBattlefield 6’s destructible environmentsplay out remain to be seen, but fans should be able to look forward to a proper reveal for the game soon.
Battlefieldis in development for PC and next-gen consoles.
