Next Battlefield Game to Launch with Free-to-Play Battle Royale in 2025

The upcoming installment aims to revitalize the franchise with a return to core gameplay elements and direct competition with Call of Duty's Warzone.

Electronic Arts' next Battlefield game, set for an October 2025 release, will feature a free-to-play Battle Royale mode, developed by Ripple Effect.
The game aims to return to the franchise's roots with 64-player matches, a four-class system, and enhanced destruction mechanics, set in the modern era between 2025 and 2030.
The Battle Royale mode is designed to compete with Call of Duty's Warzone, following a similar free-to-play model.
In addition to the Battle Royale, the game will introduce a 'Gauntlet' mode, where teams compete in objective-based missions with elimination mechanics.
The development reflects a strategic shift for the Battlefield franchise, aiming to rejuvenate its appeal and address past criticisms.
