It’s no longer a secret: Battlefield 6 is poised to mark a significant shift for EA. A high-profile project where seemingly no expense is being spared. Internal reports reveal that the development is consuming astronomical amounts – significantly more than prior iterations. Concurrently, speculation is rife: a free-to-play model, an expansive single-player campaign, and a renewed focus on Battle Royale?
For the first time, something concrete is surfacing: a leaked clip, merely six seconds long, might provide an initial look at the battle royale mode in the upcoming game. And it reveals more than it appears at first glance.
Battlefield 6 leak: Battle Royale with ring mechanics in California
The now-deleted clip depicts helicopters under ominous clouds transporting a unit of soldiers over a rugged landscape. Explosions erupt in the distance, and the lighting effects evoke the classic “Battlefield moments.” According to the renowned leaker temporal, the setting is California – within a post-apocalyptic environment interwoven with ruins and forest.
Intriguingly: The mode incorporates a ring system, akin to Fortnite or Warzone, where the playing area gradually contracts. The emphasis is likely on intense helicopter insertions, rapid mobility, and destructible settings.
Here’s a brief video clip showcasing the commencement of a Battlefield 6 Battle Royale match:

The clip was only briefly shared on Twitter before being taken down at EA’s request – suggesting it is likely authentic. Is it a planned PR tactic or an accidental leak? That remains uncertain.
Battlefield 6 is still slated for release in 2025. Whether the Battle Royale mode will indeed be free, as speculated, is as yet unverified as is the authenticity of the video. However, there are numerous signs that EA is now investing heavily following the challenging Battlefield 2042
