Battlefield 6's Release Date Leaked? Looks Like Someone Jumped the Deployment Zone, Mate!
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Looks like the release date for Battlefield 6 might have been leaked, along with some details about betas and pre-orders - sounds like someone couldn't wait for the official reveal. We're cautiously excited but will wait for the official word from EA before we get too hyped!
Alright, listen up, squaddies! It seems someone's been a bit trigger-happy (pun intended) with the intel on Battlefield 6. According to a report initially dug up by Telegram users going by 1BF, and then corroborated by the ever-reliable Billbil-kun over at Dealabs (cheers for the spot, RPS!), we might already know when we're shipping out to the digital battlefield.
The rumour mill is churning out a potential release date of October 10th. Now, before you start prepping your best camo undies, remember it's just a rumour for now. But Billbil-kun's got a pretty solid track record, so it's worth paying attention to. What's even better news, is that it sounds like there won't be any of that early access malarkey this time around. Both the standard and the fancy-pants 'Phantom' editions are allegedly dropping on the same day. Huzzah!
Remember that cryptic tweet EA chucked out about how weapons and classes will work? Well, apparently, that was a sneaky nod to an upcoming open beta in August. Get ready to test your mettle (and probably find a load of bugs) then. Pre-orders are supposedly kicking off at the end of this month too, so keep your eyes peeled (and your wallets ready).
Now, let's talk about the green stuff. Billbil-kun's report prices the standard edition at €69.99 on PC, with the 'Phantom' deluxe version setting you back a heftier €99.99. Feeling a bit basic? You can apparently upgrade your standard edition to 'Phantom' status for €29.99. Of course, converting those Euro prices into proper British pounds or American dollars is always a bit of a lottery, so we'll have to wait and see what the actual damage is when the pre-orders go live. No doubt it'll sting the wallet, but will it be worth it?
EA was set to fully reveal Battlefield 6 later, and I reckon they're hoping this reveal will draw in a whopping 100 million potential recruits. That's a lot of shuffling about with a rifle, right? Still, a new Battlefield? I'm cautiously optimistic. If they manage to recapture the large-scale mayhem of the older games without drowning it in microtransactions and bloat, it could be a real winner. But, you know, EA... so let's not get our hopes up *too* high.
So, there you have it. Leaked release dates, beta rumours, and potential price tags. Now, all that's left to do is wait for the official word from EA. In the meantime, I suggest brushing up on your bunny-hopping skills and mentally preparing yourself for the inevitable onslaught of campers. Good luck out there, soldiers!
