Despite numerous leaks coming out regarding Battlefield 6, little is known about the latest game in the series. While leakers have indicated that the next Battlefield game is in good shape and is playing well, fans have wanted to know when exactly the game will be revealed — and now they may have an answer.
Reliable Call of Duty leaker Tom Henderson recently tweeted out a response to another leaker named Anton Logvinov. The Russia-based insider, while echoing claims that the game is running well, claimed that the game is something fans will not want. Henderson describes himself as a “long time fan of the Battlefield franchise” and says that he does “believe it’s what fans want,” so it will be interesting to see which leaker is ultimately correct regarding Battlefield 6.
Regardless, in a follow-up Tweet, Henderson provides a potential reveal window after reiterating that “everything [DICE] is doing” will be approved of by fans. Henderson ends his tweet by saying “don’t expect a reveal until Spring,” and while this is still far off, this confirmation of a Spring reveal window is better than having no idea on when more information will be coming. A Spring reveal also lines up perfectly with the Holiday 2021 release date for Battlefield 6 that was confirmed by EA.
Henderson’s comments on how “feedback from 3rd parties has been overwhelmingly positive compared to previous installments” should be extremely promising for fans of the series. While opinions will certainly vary on the game when it arrives, knowing that those who have had a chance to play the game early have enjoyed it is surely good news for the Battlefield community. Based on the positivity thus far, DICE seems set to deliver on Battlefield 6's ambitious ideas.
With a potential release window highlighted and another insider doubling down on the previous claims that said the game is looking good, the only question remaining is why exactly the two insiders disagreed on if fan approval of Battlefield 6’s direction. While this is purely speculation, it could very well have to do with the game’s setting. Perhaps Battlefield is returning to the modern era just like the Battlefield 6 teaser hoax implied, leaving fans of the newer Battlefield titles and their World War settings disappointed.
Regardless, it will be some time until Battlefield fans find out which leaker is correct and the friendly debate on the latest game's fan appeal is fully settled. Until then, messing around with the builds of Battlefield maps in Minecraft seems like a fun way for hardcore fans to start the waiting process for the reveal, as it seems like it is going to be a long one.
Battlefield 6 is currently in development with a tentative release window of Holiday 2021.
