Exciting news for Battlefield fans! A highly anticipated Battle Royale mode, reportedly named ‘Battlefield: RedSec’, is expected to drop this week. While official confirmation from EA regarding a specific release date for this popular mode has been scarce, a significant leak suggests it will arrive as part of the massive Season 1 update scheduled for October 28. This initial phase of Season 1 content is already confirmed to introduce a brand-new map, an intense 4v4 multiplayer mode, and an array of new weapons.
The alleged name, ‘Battlefield: RedSec’, was first shared on social media by a well-known channel recognized for its accurate leaks and updates related to other popular shooters. This report indicates that the Battle Royale mode, which EA has previously discussed in broader updates, will launch simultaneously with Battlefield 6’s first wave of Season 1 content.
Interestingly, it’s rumored that EA plans to “shadow drop” the Battle Royale mode, meaning it would be released without a prior trailer or formal announcement, directly on October 28.
Further details emerged from a separate Battlefield-focused channel, “One Battlefield,” which reportedly datamined information from the EA app. This leak also hinted at additional content for Battlefield 6, codenamed “Granite,” beyond what’s confirmed for Season 1.
Battlefield: RedSec Mode Details
More leaked information provides a glimpse into the features players can expect from Battlefield 6’s upcoming Battle Royale experience. Similar to other popular Battle Royale titles, ‘RedSec’ is said to be free-to-play. It will reportedly include a proximity chat feature, allowing players to communicate with nearby enemies or allies within the game.
Recent claims suggest that the Battle Royale mode will launch with options for both Duos (two-player) and Squads (four-player) teams. This implies that the 100-player matches could feature either 25 teams of four or 50 teams of two, offering varied gameplay dynamics.
In a recent community update, EA did confirm upcoming changes to the game’s Battle Royale mode. These adjustments include an optimized time-to-kill for close-range engagements, the introduction of armor plates, environmental fixes, and rebalanced vehicles to enhance gameplay. Before the official launch of Battlefield 6, EA had stated that the Battle Royale mode would remain true to the franchise’s core experience, specifically confirming the inclusion of both vehicles and environmental destruction, key elements fans appreciate.
Battlefield 6 officially launched on October 10 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X. The game has already achieved significant success, selling over seven million copies across all platforms. The excitement builds as Battlefield 6’s first season of post-launch content, including this rumored Battle Royale mode, kicks off on October 28, promising a fresh map, a new game mode, and additional weapons.
