Henderson has not only proven to be credible in the past, but the leaker has been the go-to source forBattlefield 6info for some time now. From the rumors aboutBattlefield 6’s robot dog gadgetto the return of the scrapped crash landings feature fromBattlefield 5, Henderson has been providing fans with numerous details over the several months.

Henderson’s tweet doubles down on the idea thatBattlefield 6will have a near future setting. In the past, he compared this toCall of Duty: Black Ops 2, suggesting that the game will only be set a decade or so into the future. While this would make things like the robot dog possible,Battlefield: 2142’s mechs are still far off. Intriguingly, Henderson adds that the game will take place afterBattlefield 4, confirming that it is not a full reboot of the franchise like some once thought. It is unclear how connected the two will be, though fans can expect some references.
Henderson also states that it covers “the next world war,” confirming thatthe World War 3 leakswere accurate. As this World War plays out, gamers will enjoy 128-player fights as an “elite unit” hired by Russia or America. This way, militaries from the entire world can be involved in this conflict, adding diversity to the lineup of playable soldiers. Henderson adds that classes will get unique perks and abilities, giving them similar functionality to pastBattlefieldgames. In a follow-up tweet, Henderson shares a new bit of info withBattlefield 6fans.
Apparently, the game will be getting an Alpha, with Henderson expecting it to drop in July. He believes there is a chance it could go live right after EA Play as well, suggesting that fans will be playing the game sooner rather than later. Alongside this, there isno mention of aBattlefield 6campaignonce again, indicating that Henderson has not yet heard about its existence. While there is a small chance that a story mode does exist, it seems unlikely that Henderson would not have heard about it. As such, fans should not be expecting a single-player mode for the next Battlefield game unless DICE or EA says otherwise.
With June only a few days away,Battlefield 6’s grand revealis right around the corner. When the first trailer comes, fans will finally be able to see which of these rumors is accurate.
Battlefield 6is expected to release for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S later this year.
