Battlefield 6 producer Jeremy Chubb revealed that the fan-favorite Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was a key influence in the development of the upcoming installment. He acknowledged that the previous game, Battlefield 2042, lacked the series' signature destructible environments. Chubb emphasized that Bad Company 2 represented the pinnacle of Battlefield's legacy in delivering an immersive destruction experience. Excitingly, an open beta for Battlefield 6 starts on August 7 and runs through several 48-hour tests throughout the month. Scheduled for release on October 10, Battlefield 6 aims to revisit classic elements from earlier titles like Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4, as well as a rumored battle royale mode set in California. Fans are hopeful that this new title will correct the missteps of Battlefield 2042 and deliver a thrilling shooter experience.

What are the major features of Battlefield 6?

Battlefield 6 will feature classic class structures such as Assault, Support, Engineer, and Recon, and it will reintroduce beloved game modes like 64-player Conquest. The destructible environments, reminiscent of Bad Company 2, will also be a significant focal point. Additionally, a new battle royale mode is expected, enhancing the game’s overall offerings.

Battlefield has been renowned for its large-scale warfare and destructible environments since its inception. Bad Company 2 is often celebrated as one of the best entries in the series for its engaging gameplay and impressive destruction mechanics. The return to these roots in Battlefield 6 aims to resonate with long-time fans while attracting new players. Amidst shaky receptions for past titles, Battlefield 6's revival of classic gameplay elements is seen as a promising return to form.
