The game most of us have been calling Battlefield 6 for months now is, indeed, officially titled that. EA ended speculation about the official name of the next game in the multiplayer shooter series overnight.
EA have decided to let players choose between locking weapons to classes in the forthcoming Battlefield 6, or being able to equip any weapon to any class. It might sound like a throwaway technicality, next to the existential terror of reports that EA want the new shooter to find a following of 100 million players. In practice, the decision to give players the option of locking weapons to classes is Serious Business. it's the latest manifestation of a debate that goes back to Battlefield's formative squabbles with rival FPS Call Of Duty in the noughties.
With every passing day this summer, we undoubtedly approach the reveal of the next Battlefield. EA said we should expect it sometime in the summer, and though the game has yet to be given a proper title, there’s a lot the teams behind it have been comfortable sharing.
