Multiple reports are now pointing to Battlefield 6’s free-to-play battle royale mode launching next week as a shadowdrop, leaving the gaming industry on edge in anticipation. Rumors about the mode’s release have been swirling for weeks, and video leaks of the playtest in Battlefield Labs have only fueled hope and excitement among players.
As for what the game will actually be called, that has been a topic of much speculation. According to Battlefield and Call of Duty news account ModernWarzone—who has been leading the charge in reporting unconfirmed details—the Battlefield 6 battle royale mode will be named **Battlefield: RedSec**. This mode is also expected to be free-to-play.
Industry reporter and leaker Tom Henderson added more credibility to the rumors this morning, stating that he “can now independently verify” that Battlefield 6’s battle royale mode will arrive on **October 28**. He also confirmed that it will be a shadowdrop, releasing with no prior announcement this Tuesday.
The name “RedSec” might not exactly roll off the tongue, especially when compared to popular titles in the genre like *Warzone* or *Fortnite*. It’s likely the general gaming public will find it a bit unusual. However, if the gameplay is enjoyable, the name itself probably won’t matter in the long run.
While I’m admittedly not the biggest Battlefield fan, the fact that this mode will reportedly be free-to-play means there’s no downside to giving it a try if and when it launches next week.
It seems the gaming industry has shifted away from battle royale games in recent years, focusing more on extraction shooters for hyped releases. But if received well by fans, Battlefield: RedSec could quickly blow up into a major success.
If you had any gaming plans next week—such as full releases for *ARC Raiders* and *The Outer Worlds 2*—consider leaving some room in your schedule. You might want to check out what could be the next big thing in the gaming world.
