Battlefield 6fans will finally be seeing the game in action next month, with EA confirming that the reveal will take place in June. Up until this official announcement, though, fans had been given manydetails onBattlefield 6’s trailerand the overall game thanks to leaks. This is the exact opposite ofCall of Duty2021, which has seen far less info appearing early. Official info has been similarly scarce, meaning that fans are being kept in the dark when it comes to the nextCall of Dutygame.
However, the many leaks forBattlefield 6could be a blessing in disguise. While they may have a negative impact on the reveal itself, taking away some of the excitement that players could have had, they do suggest a strong game overall. Based on the limited rumors about the nextCall of Duty, however, the game is supposedly not in a great place. As such, whileBattlefield 6may be a leaky ship, it certainly sounds as if that ship is heading in the right direction.

Battlefield 6’s Many Leaks And Rumors
Battlefield 6’s rumors and leaksare plentiful, so much so that fans have details on just about every facet of the game. For starters, players know that a campaign will supposedly be absent, with faction-based multiplayer being left behind as well. Instead, soldiers from around the world will be fighting on the side of Russia or America, joining the side of the highest bidder.Battlefield 6’s destruction is apparently on another level as well, with natural disasters and the demolition of entire cities able to be seen.
Other leaks include strangehints at a robot dog gadget, with rumors of Battlelog’s return as well. While the game’s increased player count has been confirmed, the exact number has not, though leakers have clarified that the player count is 128. The two teams of 64 would apparently be well-balanced, as a skill-based matchmaking system has been outlined. Leaks have also indicated that a battle royale is on the way, though it will supposedly be coming afterBattlefield 6has already launched.
A huge chunk ofBattlefield 6’s reveal trailer audiohas leaked, giving fans clear insight into what will be happening in the trailer. On top of this, screenshots from the trailer have leaked, which show off a green island map and a rocket on another map. Leaker Tom Henderson has reported that the rocket will explode in the trailer, possibly detonated by the jet pilot from the screenshot. The debris will apparently crash onto some soldiers, while an Osprey helicopter will crash-land onto another group of players. A desert map has also been teased, and with all these pieces, fans have a clear idea of what to expect from the trailer.
The Downside: Lowering The Hype Of Battlefield 6’s Reveal
While EA has beenhyping upBattlefield 6’s debut footage, the reality of the situation is that the trailer may be a bit disappointing for fans. Those that have been paying attention to all ofBattlefield 6’s leaks have a clear idea of what the destruction will look like, while surprises like the desert map have already been revealed. The trailer audio spoils more aspects of the reveal, and with moments like the rocket explosion already leaked, many potential surprises have already been detailed.
On top of this, it could only be a matter of time before moreBattlefield 6leaks appear. The trailer was originally rumored to arrive in early May, but with its new date, there are now weeks of time where more information can appear. While all the trailer audio has leaked, moreBattlefield 6screenshotscould show up, taking the wind out of EA’s sails coming into the reveal. If the leaks are accurate,Battlefield 6fans already know a lot about the game — and any more leaks could ensure that every single detail from the reveal event is known about. While fans may be excited about the leaks that they have seen, it could be harder for them to be hyped for a trailer they have already pieced together in their minds.
This is one area whereBattlefield’s leaks can be a negative, asCall of Dutyfans can be surprised when the game is revealed. Thus far, leaks have been limited, with a reveal date unknown and sources debating on the game’s setting. While World War 2 is likely, it is not official, with information limited to Sledgehammer developing the game and a 2021 release window. If the game isrevealed inCall of Duty: WarzonelikeCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warwas, fans could be genuinely surprised by the trailer they see. WithBattlefield 6, fans will not have the same chance to be shocked or wowed by the unexpected.

The Upside: In A Better Place Than Call of Duty 2021?
Still, what those interested inBattlefield 6can be excited about is the fact that so many of the leaks are exactly what fans want. A modern setting,more meaningful destruction mechanics, andBattlefield 3inspirations are all worth being excited about. Further, while plenty of information aboutBattlefield 6has leaked, there have been no reports about the game being in a bad state. In fact, development seems to be going smoothly, and with no reports to the contrary, the return of Battlefield should please gamers once it happens later this year.
However, when it comes toBattlefield’s main competitor, one of the few rumors that has been echoed by several insiders is thatCall of Duty2021’s development is troubled. This has led to rumors suggesting the game could have no multiplayer, with some thinking thatCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Remasteredcould come in its place. Prior to Activision’s announcement that a new, premiumCall of Dutygame would come this year, it seemed possible that the streak of yearly releases could be broken. With this in mind, theBattlefield 6leaks might just be a good thing.
While fans should be careful when it comes tobelieving theBattlefield 6rumorsthey see online, what is clear is that these leaks are on the positive side. Not only have leakers talked of smart approaches to SBMM and exciting new mechanics, but what they have not said is equally important. While information on the nextCall of Dutygame has been kept quiet, what has leaked out has been worrying. As such, whileBattlefield 6leaks may have spoiled some of the reveal’s fun, they are ultimately a good sign for the game. With nothing likeCall of Duty’s reported troubles being mentioned thus far, it seems like fans do not need to worry about the nextBattlefieldgame’s quality.
