The best evidence yet of a full-scale Battle Royale mode in Battlefield 6 has just surfaced—and this time, it’s hard to deny. Known Battlefield dataminer Temporyal has uncovered solid proof that DICE is working on a competitive last-squad-standing experience for its next entry in the franchise.
🕵️♂️ Leaked Clip Reveals Gameplay Details
Temporyal, who previously hinted at the existence of the mode months ago, posted a now-removed 7-second video clip showing an introductory cutscene to the new mode. In the scene, a squadron of CH-47 Chinook helicopters flies into a California-set warzone, reminiscent of Call of Duty: Warzone‘s iconic intros.
The cutscene reportedly ended with players preparing to drop into combat as a destructive energy ring—made from a fictional compound named “NXC”—encroaches on the battlefield. This adds a unique spin to the traditional Battle Royale shrinking-zone mechanic and suggests that DICE is experimenting with more interactive environmental threats.
💬 “The use of the CH-47 Chinook, the California setting, and the NXC ring gives this mode a very distinct identity,” one fan posted shortly before the clip was removed due to copyright.
📈 Targeting 100 Million Players
In addition to the gameplay leak, internal sources claim that EA and DICE are aiming high with Battlefield 6—targeting a player base of at least 100 million. This would mark the largest projected community in Battlefield history and signals EA’s commitment to reclaiming its dominance in the FPS genre.
This move also hints at the mode’s free-to-play potential or cross-platform support, though nothing has been confirmed officially.
🔄 Similar But Different
While the leaked information confirms that Battlefield’s Battle Royale will take cues from existing titles like Warzone, it also suggests the presence of Battlefield-style destructibility, squad-based tactics, and signature vehicle warfare—core mechanics that could set it apart from the pack.
The integration of a destructive energy ring, unique insertion sequences, and the iconic Frostbite engine might be enough to distinguish it from the genre’s saturated landscape.
⏳ What Happens Next?
With Gamescom 2025 around the corner, fans are eagerly awaiting an official announcement or trailer. Temporyal’s leak has already reignited interest in the title—and if Battlefield 6 delivers on the promise of a next-gen Battle Royale, it could very well put the franchise back on top.
