The Battlefield 6 battle royale mode has finally been revealed and will officially be called Battlefield REDSEC. As rumoured, it'll launch tomorrow, and it'll be free-to-play.
EA and Battlefield Studios revealed the mode with a short post on the official Battlefield X (formerly Twitter) account, which included a link to a gameplay trailer that'll go live tomorrow, alongside the mode itself going live.
We'll have more official knowledge on the mode tomorrow when the gameplay trailer goes live, which will likely be followed by a blog post on the Battlefield 6 website, though for now we do have other claims from ModernWarzeon, the X (formerly Twitter) account who initially leaked the REDSEC title and correctly claimed it would be shadow dropped tomorrow.
According to ModernWarzone, Battlefield REDSEC will arrive with a Duos and Squads queues, letting players hop in as teams of two or teams of four, with a maximum player count of 100 players for matches.
Battlefield REDSEC will also be arriving alongside Season 1 for Battlefield 6, which, as I noted in my preview, is adding a couple of stellar Conquest maps with Blackwell Ridge and Eastwood, but a couple of lacklustre game modes with the permanent and limited time modes to come. What makes the arrival of REDSEC even more exciting is that it'll be a peek at what is arguably going to be the best map in Battlefield 6, Eastwood, since the opening map for REDSEC is set in Southern California.
REDSEC is EA and Battlefield Studio's response to Call of Duty: Warzone, and it could not have come at a more opportune time for Battlefield since the Call of Duty brand continues to be in an identity crisis. It also seems like EA and Battlefield Studios are taking advantage of Battlefield 6 launching more than a month ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, capitalizing on FPS players who would otherwise be spending their time waiting for the new Call of Duty to release.
Of course, they could still be doing that while playing Battlefield 6, dropping it for Black Ops 7 when that arrives in November, but for now EA has the chance to get its hooks into players that would otherwise not give Battlefield the time of day. We'll see how REDSEC does when it arrives tomorrow.
