Battlefield 6's battle royale is confirmed to be on the way, but EA never revealed to us when exactly it'll release. However, leakers have been continuously claiming it's just around the corner, with one particularly adamant it's launching on Oct. 28.
For the past few days, X account ModernWarzone has been relentlessly hinting at battle royale coming to Battlefield 6 as a shadow drop on Oct. 28. Now, they've revealed new information from a datamine, which supposedly substantiates this claim, which they've also previously backed up with various hints from EA itself.
"A new content drop for Battlefield 6 that is NOT Season 1 codenamed “Granite” with a release date of Oct. 28 has been datamined from the EA App," they wrote. "It's safe to say this is the BF6 battle royale," they added. EA and DICE have confirmed that a BR mode would come to Battlefield 6, but the game's been out for a couple of weeks now with no BR in sight.
The game's first season is set to drop on Oct. 28, which ModernWarzone claims will also bring the battle royale, despite EA not announcing anything of the sort.
ModernWarzone has always been "in the know" about battle royales, specifically Warzone as their name implies, often sharing info ahead of official reveals from relevant Activision studios.
Whether or not Oct. 28 will prove the definitive release date of Battlefield 6's battle royale mode is as of yet unclear, but strong indications do point to ModernWarzone being right.
After all, BRs have become almost mandatory modes for modern shooters, with countless other titles containing at least some form of it ever since PUBG broke ground in 2017. And we do know, as mentioned above, that it's in the works, so EA shouldn't take too long to release it anyhow.
