The Battlefield 6 leaker and dataminer community was all in a tizzy late last week—see, we've known that BF6 is getting a battle royale mode for a while, just not when. Well, turns out 'when' could be as soon as tomorrow, per a group of known Battlefield 6 and Call of Duty leakers.
X account ModernWarzone (who exposed that very bad bong gun in Black Ops 6 last year) writes: "A new content drop for Battlefield 6 that is NOT Season 1 codenamed 'Granite' with release date of October 28th has been datamined from the EA App." The screenshot, shared here by user YourAkhiNeo, states that "Granite" has a "playablestartdate" of October 28, 2025.
That's not to say you should take any of this for granite—dangit, granted—but those crying shadowdrop have at least had some hits in the past. Although considering the sheer scale of the October 28 patch already, it does seem like a lot for DICE to put on its plate.
It also might explain why DICE is waiting 38 days to release two new maps. As FPS-head and fellow PC Gamer writer Morgan Park observed last week: "maybe for some reason, BF Studios wanted to stack its first post-launch season with the strongest possible lineup—perhaps to coincide with the surprise drop of the battle royale mode sometime soon?"
