Rumors: Battlefield 6 will be a “soft” relaunch of the series, and the PS5 and Xbox Series X will have a mode with support for up to 128 players
The author of the YouTube channel TheLongSensation released a video in which he collected information about Battlefield 6 from trusted insider Tom Henderson. The informant had already published some of the data in his personal microblog, but there was also a place for new facts in the video.
The sixth instalment will be a soft restart for the franchise, Henderson said. The game will be called either Battlefield 6, or simply Battlefield, and DICE focuses on the third numbered part when creating the game. Earlier, the insider had already talked about the entourage of modern war in a future shooter, but he mentioned Battlefield 3 as a direct source of inspiration for the first time.
In addition, the informant spoke about the release of the sixth part on consoles of the new and previous generations. On PS5 and Xbox Series X the game will be a multiplayer mode with support for up to 128 people, while the PS4 and Xbox One will be available only to the competition up to 64 players. Plus, on the consoles of the past cycle, Battlefield 6 will be marked by poorer graphics and limited destruction.
The new Battlefield will be released in 2021, however, the exact date has not yet been disclosed.
