About nine minutes of gameplay footage, watermarked by a Bilibili user, shows an apparent early build of Battlefield's new battle royale, including a loading screen, loadout menu, and an airdrop onto a massive map. The footage shows buildings and other geometry popping in, swimming in water, sledgehammer demolition of bathroom walls taking about two swings each, grenades, ziplines, and a ladder gadget. Publisher EA confirmed a new battle royale this past summer and Ripple Effect is developing the mode. Battlefield previously released Firestorm in 2018 with a 64-player limit and a ring of fire; Firestorm required purchase and did not match Warzone's reach.
About nine minutes of footage, watermarked by a Bilibili user called Misaka_Mikoto_01, shows what looks like an early build of the Battlefield battle royale. The build could be from the latest Battlefield Labs test, which began late last week. The beginning of the video includes the loading screen and loadout menu before the player airdrops onto the battle royale's massive map.
This won't be the first time that Battlefield has flirted with the battle royale format--2018's Battlefield V featured Firestorm, which had a max of 64 players. The closing ring was, as the name implies, a giant ring of fire, as opposed to the toxic gas in Call of Duty: Warzone or the storm in Fortnite. Releasing during the initial boom of battle royale games, Firestorm didn't take off the same way Warzone, Fortnite, or Apex Legends did.
