The next Battlefield game will be out before the end of 2021. We don't know if it'll be called Battlefield 6 or something else, but we do have a few hits about what to expect. EA is promising to scale up the battles, for instance. Granted, the publisher says something like that every time, but in this case we might actually be talking about an increase in the max player count. 64 has been the magic number since Battlefield 1942 released all the way back in 2002. Is it finally time for a change?

If not in player count, we might see some other transformations in this Battlefield. It'd be a stretch to call Battlefield 5 a failure, but it hasn't exactly been a triumph for EA and DICE, either. Its battle royale mode, Firestorm, didn't take off, and right now, Call of Duty's resurgence as a top FPS series on PC feels like the big story. EA will be looking for something of a comeback, and might be willing to take some risks to achieve it.

We'll get more info sometime this spring, but until then, here's everything we know about Battlefield 6.

Worrying things ...

It is coming very soon. So is not a new engine change and of course it will carry the good things of BF 1 and BF V

It will support PS4 and LastBox - so is not very new and of course it will have to run on mostly the same spec BF V did - so is not a "new gen" game.
Hate the terms of next gen etc as the vast majority of gaming is just on repeat reboot mode until we are all on 8K textures at 100fps.
The mechanics the roots have not changed for 15 years! A few nods and exceptions to wonderful independent studios.

EA and their need to sell cosmetics and battle coins will still be involved.
EA are still involved,
And more EA.


128 player maps I think people will hate as they will require a whole different style of play to beat the MG and sniper choke points. Metro on steroids.
Yet I am intrigued.

"levolution" hmmm

Danger it will be Battlefield Warzone basically with endless weapon unlocks and attachments.

However BF1942 veteran is still hopeful but I have grown very cynical that marketing and numbers are king.
cod warzone has 120 players right and it works well
 
I'd love a persistent, huge map across maybe 10Km by 10Km with airfields, several towns, loads of choke points and little houses etc. You could combine many of the maps they already have into one big map that has all three sides fighting for supremacy just like Planetside. It would need careful balancing, seeing 14 tanks, 4 attack helicopters and 6 APC's all streaming towards your checkpoint wouldn't be fun at all.
Keep an eye on this then

Don't see why that's relevant the game is so throw away it would add nothing

BF thrives on community servers breed that and a good well run server can be a joy with competitive gameplay and friendships made
Its very relivent. because COD is still popular yet doesnt have third party servers.

MY point is third party servers dont make or break BF.

BF was broken because the gameplay and its mechanics went backwards in BF5.
