So, EA threw quite the gig with their Battlefield 6 showcase last night. Wild, right? The whole thing screamed "Hey, we’re all about Battlefield!" like a kid announcing they just found candy. They really zeroed in on the usual stuff—maps, games modes, yada yada. But weirdly, something kinda big wasn’t really in the spotlight. Or maybe it was, and I just blinked and missed it. Who knows.
Oh, right, the battle royale thingamajig that everyone’s buzzing about? Ripple Effect’s cooking that up, same folks who did the whole Battlefield Portal thing. There was this super short trailer, like one you’d miss if you sneezed, tacked on right at the end of the dev talk. Typical.
Anyway—or wait, hang on—where was I? Right, the teaser. All these peeps were sprinting like mad. Why? Ah, a fiery wall of death or something. And vehicles? Yeah, loads. Even the ones that go boom. Big whoop.
No one’s spelling out "battle royale" just yet, not sticking labels on it like it’s a cardboard box full of junk. But let’s face it, an inferno ring? Kind of screams “Firestorm 2.0” without, y’know, saying it.
And if EA’s feeling cheeky? I bet they could’ve thrown the “Firestorm” name back into the mix. Imagine having that and Operation Firestorm on the same menu. Confusing much?
Oh, and no, they didn’t say if we’re getting this fiery chaos mode with Battlefield 6 on October 10. Battlefield Labs folks, though, they’re getting a sneak peek. Lucky ducks.
Honestly, it’s gotta be free, right? Like Call of Duty’s Warzone—a freebie to pull in a bazillion players. EA’s gunning for 100 mil people to jump into their new game, because, obviously, why not shoot for the stars?
