Alright, so picture this: EA decides to throw this wild Battlefield 6 multiplayer party overnight. The buzz was all about their main deal—the classic Battlefield chaos, you know, like explosions every ten seconds and non-stop action. But, funny thing, everyone’s hyped up for something else—like, mysteriously absent from the spotlight.
They didn’t really skip it. I mean, they tossed us a crumb. A tiny, blink-and-you-miss-it peek at that battle royale mode we all secretly (or not so secretly) hoped for. You know, the one being cooked up by those folks at Ripple Effect, the geniuses behind Battlefield Portal.
This teaser popped up at the end of some developer spiel, just before an army of streamers got ready to dive into hours of Battlefield 6 madness. And guess what? The clip showed some frantic running, like Olympic-level sprinting. Turns out, they were legging it from this massive wall of fire. No shocker there—vehicles were everywhere, because, duh, it’s Battlefield.
Now, did they come right out and stamp it with a “battle royale” label? Nope. And they kept mum about the “Firestorm” name too. But hey, fiery doom circling in? Classic battle royale vibe, right? Maybe the confused souls who loved the original Firestorm will feel nostalgic. Or not. Who knows.
A twist in the tale? Imagine if they stick with “Firestorm” amidst a map lineup featuring Operation Firestorm. Like, who’s planning these names? Chaos.
As for a release date hand-in-hand with Battlefield 6 on October 10? Mystery continues. But, insiders at Battlefield Labs—yep, those lucky ducks—will be trying it out soon.
Oh, and my gut says they’re eyeing Call of Duty’s Warzone. Probably trying to snag that massive, free-to-play crowd. They claim they want 100 million players for this game. That’s… ambitious, huh?
