It’s possible that the publisher that everyone calls EA might already be gauging interest in Battlefield 6‘s features before the game is even announced; this game is going to compete against Activision Blizzard’s annual cash cow, Call of Duty, this autumn.

Tom Henderson, a reliable insider, tweeted that allegedly, Electronic Arts has been sending out a Battlefield survey to players to gauge their interest in free-to-play elements, a battle pass system, a platoon/clan system, evolving maps, and weapons blueprints. He got it, too.

„This does not confirm what’s coming to the game, but more often than not surveys like these are carried out to gauge the community’s thoughts and the results can be used to determine when to announce features etc. It’s very unlikely that the questions are being asked because they want to add the features to the game. It’s likely because the features have already been developed and/or implemented, but the answers to the survey will dictate when marketing will announce features,” he wrote.

His comments seem to fall in line with previous rumours. We might have also discussed in the past that Battlefield 6 could come with some sort of a free-to-play segment, just to compete with Activision Blizzard’s highly successful Call of Duty: Warzone. No matter how hard the investors tried during the previous financial earnings report, Andrew Wilson, the CEO of Electronic Arts, didn’t comment about it.

„After analyzing the data it shows that players are not keen on a Battle Pass, but it’s scheduled to be announced in a reveal trailer or event, they might decide to cut it out and announce it at a later date,” Henderson added about the survey. Battlefield 6 launches this autumn, possibly as a cross-gen title (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One).
