Battlefield 6 is taking a page from Call of Duty’s playbook and is gearing up to drop its own Battle Royale mode. The new piece of information comes from the trusted Call of Duty and Battlefield news account ModernWarzone over on X, which recently reported that a new content drop for Battlefield 6, listed in the EA App with a release date of October 28, has been datamined. The post also clarified that this update is not part of Season 1 and is codenamed “Granite,” adding, “Think it’s safe to say this is the BF6 Battle Royale.” Interestingly enough, we already have a fair idea of what to expect from Battlefield 6’s much anticipated Battle Royale mode, thanks to Battlefield Studios’ list of planned changes and improvements. In a post outlining the updates coming with Season 1 on October 28, the studio said it is preparing several adjustments for the unannounced Battle Royale mode ahead of its expected surprise release with the new season.
EXCLUSIVE: The F2P Battlefield 6 battle royale is officially named “Battlefield: RedSec”.
Releasing October 28th as previously reported, however it looks like there won’t be any trailers or official announcements until the 28th itself instead of a day before.

Dubbed Battlefield: RedSec, the upcoming battle royale mode is being touted by Battlefield Studios as “an exciting new Battlefield take on Battle Royale.” In a recent community update, the developers said, “There is much more to look forward to beyond our Seasons as our team continues reviewing Battlefield Labs data, player feedback, and developing completely new ideas for the future, starting with an exciting new Battlefield take on Battle Royale.” There’s still plenty we do not know about Battlefield 6’s Battle Royale mode, including if it will be free to play, what maps it will feature, or how it will fit into the broader Battlefield ecosystem. However, Battlefield Studios did mention that it has been working to deliver a smoother overall performance for the new mode.
“We have identified and addressed a range of issues that affected performance that we simply couldn’t have done without our players’ involvement in the tests,” the developer said. One of the first major rounds of updates for Battlefield 6 arrives with Season 1, which is set to add new maps, modes, timed events, vehicles, attachments, guns, and melee weapons. The new season is planned to release in three stages of free post-launch content. The first stage, titled Rogue Ops, goes live on October 28 and introduces the new Blackwell Fields map, the Strikepoint mode, a new vehicle, carbine, sidearm, sniper rifle, and a bunch of new attachments. Next up is California Resistance, scheduled to launch on November 18, which will add the Eastwood map, a limited-time Sabotage mode, a new shotgun, sidearm, attachments, and a new “battle pickups” feature. The final update, Winter Offensive, arrives on December 9 and includes the Ice Lock limited-time event, the Ice Lock Empire State map, the Ice Climbing Axe melee weapon, and much more.
All in all, Battlefield 6’s upcoming Battle Royale mode feels like a natural next step for the long-running shooter series, and it will be interesting to see what new ideas the developers bring to the table in a space already dominated by Call of Duty’s ever-popular and expanding Warzone.
