Battlefield 6 Kazakhstan location seemingly teased via GPS coordinates

Or else it's a very weird coincidence

A set of Battlefield 6 teasers are pointing toward Kazakhstan, if fans are reading the numbers right.

If you translate these numbers to GPS coordinates, they point to a place in Kazakhstan. Then if you look at the Battlefield 5 Eidolon Skin, which can only be unlocked by completing a secret challenge implemented in the game's last major content update, you'll see the medallion on its waistband has a series of numbers in roman numerals. Translate those numbers to GPS coordinates and, again, you get a spot in Kazakhstan (though a different one this time).

Kazakhstan is the ninth largest country in the world by surface area, which means it has a lot of space to catch GPS coordinates - those numbers could be referring to something else entirely, or nothing at all. But that would still be quite a coincidence, so it's worth bearing this Kazakhstan connection in mind as we wait for more official details on Battlefield 6.

Need for Speed developer Criterion is helping out on Battlefield 6 too, which means the next game in the racing series has been delayed.
