According to influencer Tom Henderson, who has published several Battlefield 6 reports over the past months – some corroborated by journalists – DICE's new instalment will simply be known as Battlefield.

The game will reportedly take place around ten years from now, and feature near future equipment such as military robots and advanced drones, jets, helicopters and tanks.

According to Henderson, DICE has revamped the game's campaign for a branching story which will allow players to switch sides as they progress, and play through in co-op with other players.

Henderson:

The campaign will focus on you and your specialist unit, where you'll be able to choose which superpower you fight for. Both the USA and Russia, who are the game's only standing superpowers, will offer to 'recruit' your specialist team and their skills throughout the campaign, which will be a valuable asset to both sides.

On multiplayer, Henderson says players will be able to choose between four different soldier types and customise them with Call of Duty-style "perks". For example, a Scout soldier might have silent footsteps, whereas an Assault soldier might be able to sprint for a longer duration.

Finally, it's claimed that Battlefield 6 will feature a separate battle royale mode, disconnected from the Firestorm game added to Battlefield V.

Henderson previously claimed Battlefield 6 would focus on modern-day military combat and that its maps would be "designed with 128+ players in mind".

I just hope the destructability is next-level but I'm interested in them putting more effort into their campaign.

I loved Battlefield up until the last one. I hope they have learned from the mistakes there and make a great game again.

Interested as always but extremely cautious. I haven't enjoyed Battlefield since 4.

@Mista just FYI the images you link to in the OP are not visible for me because they are from blocked domains. I don't expect you to take screenshots for me but something to keep in mind as we get more members, making our own shareable images that don't rely on various game domains increases visibility on the forum

Missed opportunity not calling a soft reboot "The Battlefield."

Why "perks"? Leave that shit to CoD. Just give us battlefield back and stop trying to make it something it's not.

Not sure about the direction, though the "perk" system might not be so CODish. IT could just be allowing a bit of customization. Perks have been around before.

As always it comes down to the maps and how Operations/Rush will play. 128 players is interesting but its not always the player count if you don't have good map design.

BF is BF. Nothing else like it, but its always going to have things you can shit on. We never going back to BFBC2 and every game will try and chase that greatness. All you can ask for is good weapons, maps, and not to fuck up the classes too much.

I like the near future setting, World Wars were getting old.

Biggest concern as always is the content. How many maps, guns, etc... Are we looking at even a more "live" service where we get few maps and have to wait 6 months for 2 updates?

Personally I think it would of been cooler if they would have taken Firestorm and expanded that. Left Battle Royale but basically made a persistant map that basically had Operations, Conquest, Rush etc all kind of going on on the big map with a bunch more players. Basically tried to build from there and come up with something unique.

But can love bloom on it?
