Speculation is mounting that Battlefield 6’s highly anticipated battle royale mode, known as RedSec, could arrive as early as next week. Dataminers have uncovered new evidence pointing to a surprise release coinciding with the launch of Season One on October 28th. While the core game has already achieved blockbuster sales, this free-to-play addition represents a major new direction for the franchise.
Leaked information suggests the mode, internally referred to as “Granite,” is separate from the already announced Season One content. Although neither Electronic Arts nor Battlefield Studios has confirmed an official release date, previous statements from the developers hinted that seasonal updates would begin with a fresh take on the battle royale genre. This has led many to believe its arrival is imminent.
The popular social media account ModernWarzone brought attention to these findings, sharing datamined code and asserting with confidence that this is indeed the Battlefield 6 battle royale experience. While some remain skeptical of the code’s authenticity, the dataminers are reportedly convinced the release will be a “full on shadowdrop,” meaning it could launch with little to no prior marketing.
Further leaks have seemingly revealed the official title: Battlefield: RedSec. The current expectation is for the mode to go live on October 28th without any trailers or official announcements beforehand, sticking to the shadowdrop strategy. This approach would generate immediate buzz and player engagement upon discovery.
Season One of Battlefield 6 is scheduled to begin on the same date, October 28th. A recently published trailer showcased the upcoming post-launch content, featuring the expansive Blackwell Fields map and a new game mode called Strikepoint. The season will unfold across three distinct stages, with the first phase, “Rogue Ops,” set to debut next Tuesday.
This seasonal launch marks the first significant content update for Battlefield 6 since its record-breaking release. The title has demonstrated remarkable popularity, moving over seven million copies in its first week and setting new benchmarks for the long-running series. The potential addition of a battle royale mode only adds to the anticipation surrounding the game’s evolving landscape.
