Recent datamining efforts for Battlefield 6 have uncovered intriguing details about potential future content, including several new game modes and the development of naval warfare elements. These findings suggest that DICE is actively expanding the game’s offerings beyond its initial launch.
Key Takeaways
- Six new game modes may be added to Battlefield 6.
- Naval combat, including Jet Skis and RHIBs, is reportedly in development.
- Some new modes are slated for release with upcoming seasons.
Upcoming Game Modes Revealed
Datamined files from Battlefield 6’s multiplayer component have revealed strings of code pointing to six potential new game modes. These include:
- Raid
- Payload
- Sabotage
- Squad Shootout
- Strikepoint
- Tank Hunt
While "Strikepoint" and "Sabotage" have been confirmed by EA for release with Season 1: Rogue Ops (October 28) and Season 1: California Resistance (November 18) respectively, the other modes have not yet been officially announced. Their presence in the game files, however, suggests they could be introduced in future updates or seasons.
Naval Warfare Development Underway
Further datamining has also indicated that naval combat is actively being developed for Battlefield 6. Code strings related to "Jet Skis" and "RHIBs" (Rigid-Hulled Inflatable Boats) have been found within the multiplayer files. This suggests that DICE is preparing to integrate more water-based vehicles and combat scenarios into the game. While the exact timeline for the introduction of these naval features remains unclear, the developers have acknowledged community requests for such content. Given Battlefield’s history of dedicating entire seasons to specific themes, a dedicated naval warfare season for Battlefield 6 is a distinct possibility.
