Battlefield's battle royale mode is a free-to-play experience called REDSEC

Publisher reveals sanction pursuing a play of leaks

Battlefield 6’s conflict royale mode has a name, and it isn’t rather arsenic atrocious arsenic I was expecting, falling good abbreviated of the exhilarating cringe of "Battlefortnite". Battlefield REDSEC, they’re calling it. Such a Tom Clancelled, Limp Bizkit-ass moniker. What does REDSEC basal for, EA? Rampant Ennui Detected, Send Emergency Cookies? Or is it a crippled astir hunting down commie bureau assistants? See, this is wherefore they wage maine the large bananas present astatine Rock Paper Shitpun Dot Com.

The much momentous quality present is that REDSEC volition beryllium free-to-play. This implies that it volition beryllium arsenic a standalone experience, similar Call Of Duty: Warzone – an endlessly contracting and expanding skirmish that floats alongside the numbered sequels. It won’t conscionable beryllium an update for Battlefield 6 itself, which explains wherefore it’s absent from the latter’s Season 1 DLC plans. Still, I’m getting up of myself.

There is thing other to stock close now, beyond pointing you toward EA’s placeholder for the afloat gameplay trailer tomorrow. It seems apt the publishers’ hands person been forced by rumours this play - the radical who outed it arsenic REDSEC besides assertion that it'll motorboat connected 28th October.

Last week, dataminers besides discovered a mysterious portion of forthcoming contented called “Granite” connected the EA app, rumoured to beryllium the caller Battlefield's conflict royale functionality. I americium defiantly clinging to the anticipation that this is simply a literal summation to the game's gathering materials that volition perfectly ruin the lives of vessel drivers.

All this comes arsenic EA marque tweaks to Battlefield 6’s progression system, handling and arsenal – caller measures see cracking down connected attempts to workplace the bots successful customized modes for casual XP. In hindsight, I wonderment however overmuch of that tweaking was carried retired with a presumption to preparing the crushed for REDSEC – adjacent if the second tin beryllium played separately, determination volition surely beryllium a batch of crossover with Battlefield 6’s multiplayer component. I besides wouldn’t beryllium amazed if the crippled takes dense inspiration from Respawn’s Apex Legends, EA’s flagship conflict royale – the existent caput of Battlefield Studios is Vince Zampella, Respawn co-founder.

Again, I’m speculating. And wherefore should I speculate, erstwhile immoderate of you lurking bastards person been playing REDSEC successful playtests? I cognize due to the fact that you support popping up successful the comments connected Battlefield 6 articles to waggle your eyebrows and hum innocently. Come on, interruption your NDA. I won't archer anyone. Nobody from EA reads this tract anyway. There's a bully banana successful it for you if you spill the beans.
