EA is focusing on making Battlefield 6 more popular like Call of Duty with a rumored battle royale mode resembling Warzone's free-to-play model.
DICE is aiming to bring back the essence of Battlefield 3 and 4 with a grittier style, increased destruction, and a lack of operators.
Leaks and datamined assets suggest the presence of a battle royale mode and another mode called Gauntlet, which pits small squads against each other.
While some are skeptical about Battlefield's battle royale success in a market dominated by Warzone, the game's return to a more realistic visual style could be a positive factor.
