Battlefield 6

I got to play Battlefield 6's single player for 3 hours, and it's a clear return to the grounded shooter campaigns of the early 2010s

Why EA is razing Battlefield to its foundations in order to build something explosively new with Battlefield 6: "[I] felt an obligation to create one of the best Battlefields the world has ever seen"

Battlefield 6 devs have a big button that blows up everything on a map, but it isn't just for fun – DICE uses it to make sure maps are fun in all "3 different states" of destruction

Battlefield 6 devs say adding fan-favorite maps to the new shooter is "much more complicated than people think," and it all boils down to players' "expectations"

Battlefield 6 makes changes to movement in Labs, and players can't decide if things have been "overnerfed" or if the new risk/reward tweaks make the FPS more grounded

Battlefield 6 sniper glints won't be so blinding come the shooter's release, as devs have "stepped it back" after fans' "humorous" feedback: "I saw those memes with the hillside just full of these giant glares"

Battlefield 6 nearly broke the Xbox Series S, which devs say had "less memory than even our mid-spec PC": "A lot of our levels were crashing on Xbox Series S"

Battlefield 6 devs abandoned the chaos of Battlefield 4's destruction mechanic because they thought "the game wouldn't be fun" if everything in it was dust: "We want it to serve a gameplay purpose"

"They did not want to allow this to happen": Battlefield 6 lead says the controversial Battlefield 2042, which once had just 21% positive Steam reviews, even disappointed its devs

Battlefield 6 goes back to 64 players per match because 2042's 128-person matches "just didn't catch on," design director admits: "Look, we try stuff. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't"

Battlefield 6 devs say don't get too comfortable with classes, even if you think you know everything about Assault and Support: "The class system has already moved beyond what's in open beta"

Battlefield Labs helped developers keep "an open mind" while creating Battlefield 6 after 2042's colossal failure, but "you can't just let players design for you"

Battlefield 6's anti-tank and anti-air damage has been "tuned" since open beta, lead producer confirms, so your helicopters won't be so easily destroyed by Engineers going forward

Battlefield 6 community lead reminds everyone "NDA applies" as the long-rumored battle royale mode heads to Labs, trying to get ahead of the leaks I'm sure are already brewing

EA finally unveils Battlefield 6's battle royale mode: testing begins this week, the shrinking ring insta-kills you, and "destruction will be everywhere"

Battlefield 6 producer says devs are "actively working on" balancing vehicles, but playing with open weapon classes "isn't really a problem"

Battlefield 6 is set to be extra grisly compared to most of the previous entries in EA's FPS series, as it's only the third to mention "gore" in its ESRB rating
