EA and DICE will unveil the trailer for the new military shooter later this week. The latest installment of the long-running Battlefield series has finally received a name. Welcome Battlefield 6 – and on Thursday we can look forward to a big trailer that will reveal more details about the upcoming FPS game. And is that New York burning in the teaser?
Open tests – and within them, the hot topic of class weapons
EA has announced that Battlefield 6 will receive an open beta, which will follow the closed tests. One of the mechanics being tested will be the choice of weaponry for individual classes – should classes be restricted (e.g. scout only with a sniper rifle), or should there be complete freedom? The gaming community is strongly divided.
The previous instalment of the series, Battlefield 2042, was a disappointment for many fans. The game only reached an acceptable level after numerous updates, but trust in the brand has been significantly damaged. EA does not hide that the new installment aims to rebuild the series' reputation.
Huge budget and chaos behind the scenes
According to reports, Battlefield 6 has a budget exceeding 400 million dollars, and the production has been full of challenges. To meet expectations, EA has engaged many of its internal teams and is returning to the style of Battlefield 4 – realistic, modern warfare. Soon we will find out if it was worth it.
