Roughly 9-minutes of new footage of Battlefield 6 recently leaked showing off more of its battle royale mode. The map looks massive and the gameplay shows swimming and shooting while in the water. There's also a dual-purpose ladder gizmo and smashing through a concrete wall with a sledgehammer. "Can't wait to play 1 single round of this then go back to the real Battlefield and never touch it again," wrote on fan on Reddit.

The recent Battlefield 6 open beta was a massive success for EA and Battlefield Studios, amassing over half a million concurrent players on Steam.

The M87A1 shotgun was too powerful in the beta, many said, and now Battlefield Studios will make a change to it so it "requires more pellets to secure a kill." The developer was made aware of the shotgun issues almost immediately after the beta went live, and the studio said on August 10 that the shotgun problems were already "resolved" in a different build of the game.

The free pass includes six cosmetic packs, unlocked by progressing through tiers; for example, Tier 8 offers a Western Front weapon skin and more.

The Assault class in Battlefield 6 is designed for players seeking constant action with a focus on close combat and aggressive gameplay.

EA Play Pro subscribers will gain early access to the Battlefield 6 open beta from August 7-8, ahead of the general public release later in August.

Battlefield 6 arrives on October 10 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, marking a shift from recent trends of launching on both console generations.

EA presented a showcase of Battlefield 6's multiplayer, focusing on core tenets and features while teasing a new battle royale mode from Ripple Effect.
