Battlefield 6’s Battle Royale Mode Set to Shadow Drop on PS5 Next Week

Many believe that Battlefield 6’s Battle Royale mode will be unexpectedly released on October 28th, alongside the initial Season 1 content – a surprise launch known as a ‘shadow drop’.

Although hinted at during the game’s initial announcement, a specific release date for this new mode hadn’t been confirmed. Recent rumors suggested it would launch with Season 1, and Tom Henderson from Insider Gaming has now shared information on social media confirming this.

Okay, so I’ve just confirmed it myself – Battlefield 6 is dropping its Battle Royale mode on October 28th! It seems like other people digging into the game files already hinted at this, finding code that pointed to a Tuesday release, but now I’ve seen the evidence with my own eyes. It’s happening!

Before the full release, we know that Battlefield 6 will receive free updates in Season 1, with new content added several times each month until December. On October 28th, players can expect a new multiplayer map, a new game mode, plus more weapons, attachments, and vehicles. It sounds like a major update, and a Battle Royale mode is also likely to be included. This is great news for those who recently purchased the game on PS5.
