BATTLEFIELD 6: NEW BATTLE ROYALE MODE LAUNCHING SOON

Recent datamine revelations from ModernWarzone on X indicate that a new battle royale mode for Battlefield 6, codenamed “Granite, ” is set to launch next week, coinciding with the game’s Season 1 update on October 28, 2025. According to these sources, the revealing trailer for this mode is scheduled to premiere on October 27, with the actual gameplay going live promptly the next day. Notably, there have been no official announcements from EA or Battlefield Studios regarding this mode, and it has not been featured in any promotional materials related to Season 1.

BREAKING: A new content drop for Battlefield 6 that is NOT Season 1 codenamed “Granite” with release date of October 28th has been datamined from the EA App.🗓️Think it’s safe to say this is the BF6 Battle Royale.🪂Thanks to @onebattlefield for sending the info over to me 🫡 pic.twitter.com/H3xaZpWmne — ModernWarzone (@ModernWarzone) October 23, 2025

ModernWarzone suggests that EA’s strategy might involve delaying the announcement to ensure their existing multiplayer offerings remain in the spotlight. This may indicate that the upcoming battle royale mode will be a standalone, free-to-play experience, similar to the popular model of Call of Duty: Warzone, which allows free access to the battle royale while requiring a purchase for the latest multiplayer game. The visuals of the new maps are impressive and promise to enrich the Battlefield 6 experience. However, the recently introduced game modes, including a permanent mode set to arrive next week along with a limited-time mode in November, have received lukewarm reactions for feeling somewhat underwhelming and tedious. Should the battle royale mode roll out next week as speculated, it could significantly enhance the excitement surrounding Season 1 of Battlefield 6, which is already facing scrutiny for its current offerings.
