EA has confirmed that Battlefield _ **_6 ** will be getting an alpha sometime this year, and that it'll be coming sooner than previous titles. EA made the announcement via a blog post that outlined the status of the highly anticipated shooter, noting that it's shaping up to be something truly incredi

The Battlelog system was first introduced in the beloved Battlefield 3 , with the feature quickly proving to be a massive hit with the game’s player base. An external website that tracked everything from stats with specific weapons to time in vehicles and overall wins, provided detailed information on how each and every Battlefield fan was performing in their games. The website also boasted a vibrant forums section for fans of the series to debate and discuss the game as well as off-topic iss

EA Chief Studios Officer Laura Miele wrote in a blog post today (via ComicBook.com ), detailing the fact that Criterion would be delaying its new Need for Https://Battlefield2042Play.Com/ Speed title in order to help give Battlefield 6 the support it needs. Miele also noted that the game will be getting an alpha, seemingly very soon. "The project is tracking towards the franchise’s earliest Alpha, the gameplay is at an unprecedented scale, and we are taking full advantage of the technology in the next-gen consoles," Miele said. "The team has done an incredible job despite the challenges of working from home. We want to build on our position of strength, focus on the opportunity in front of us, and set our game makers up for success to deliver the best experience possible to our players this fa

Still, while Battlelog users may be excited to see the page becoming active after such a long downtime, there is no confirmation that the feature will be seen in Battlefield 6 . As such, this rumor should be taken with a grain of salt — though Battlelog’s return is looking far likelier than it did before the Tweet was pos

Another standout map called Damavand Peak saw players leaping from a massive mountain halfway through the match, with attackers and defenders parachuting down as helicopters followed. Without the old Rush flow, newer maps lack these special, cinematic moments, making Battlefield 6 's possible return to this style very promis

Activision's Call of Duty ** has long reigned supreme when it comes to military shooters, but that could change with this year's _Battlefield 6** _ . Though there have been times over the years when it seemed like Battlefield might outsell any given year's Call of Duty title, most recently in 2016 with the WW1-based Battlefield 1 , developer DICE's large-scale multiplayer shooter always seems to come up sh

Aside from taking a Battlefield 3 approach to map design, instead of the unfocused areas of recent games, a major quality of life decision would be bringing back the Battlelog . Back during Battlefield 3 ’s peak, "Battlelog" was both a forum for players to discuss the game, as well as a detailed stat tracker. Though it was used in Battlefield 4 , with the stats portion integrated into the game itself, the system was abandoned completely ahead of Battlefield 1 ’s de

Much of this depends on when Battlefield is initially announced. There's virtually no information on if and when a Battlefield 6 or new Battlefield game will be announced this year, despite being initially planned to release in EA's 2022's fiscal year, which means any time after March 31, 2021. Based on prior releases, the next entry will likely be a fall/winter release, but the reveal itself is a bit up in the air. Most would expect anywhere in the April/May 2021 range, but without a focal point like E3, marketing timelines for games are a bit more ambiguous now. However, one thing is clear: the next Battlefield is a serious mountain to climb if it's going to rival Call of Du

**Battlefield 6 ** has huge potential, and having two studios like Criterion and DICE LA lend support puts EA's shooter franchise in a great position to finally outdo its longtime rival. Whether or not that comes to pass remains to be seen, but it seems clear EA is finally dedicated to putting forward the necessary resources to make it a real possibil

Battlefield , traditionally, has been a largely DICE-developed affair. While that has resulted in some stellar shooters over the years, in today's gaming environment dominated by regular new content drops in games like Call of Duty or even Fortnite , DICE simply can't keep up. That fact was made clear with Battlefield 5 . Though developed as a live-service game in mind, Battlefield 5 saw frequent content droughts and feature delays, sometimes for months at a time. Battlefield games are notorious for releasing in a buggy state, and having to fix bugs and other various launch issues distracts from creating and implementing new game cont

Recent entries in the Battlefield franchise have had reveals in a similar timeframe as Call of Duty , but that hasn't always been the case. Battlefield 5 and Battlefield 1 were revealed in May of 2016 and 2018, respectively. However, Battlefield 4 was initially revealed back in March of 2013, while Battlefield 3 was initially revealed in April of 2011. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War 's reveal may have happened in August of 2020 instead of May this year, but it's hard not to point to the many rumors of a troubled development potentially causing a delayed reveal . EA will still want to reveal the next entry ahead of Call of Duty , in order to avoid being overshadowed for its comeb
