Battlefield 6 Battle Royale: Map, POIs, and Everything Leaked So Far

Battlefield Studios is taking a slower approach with Battlefield 6, giving fans just one official trailer so far. Most of the confirmed content has focused on the campaign and traditional multiplayer. But behind the scenes, leaks are pointing toward something bigger: a new battle royale mode that could finally give the franchise a serious shot at the genre.

The mode hasn’t been confirmed yet by EA or Battlefield Studios. But it’s being widely referred to as “Battlefield Royale,” and it’s showing signs of being something more substantial than Battlefield 5’s failed Firestorm mode.

A reliable source for this info is the well-known Battlefield leaker temporyal, who has already posted several detailed breakdowns of content not officially announced yet. According to him, Battlefield Royale exists, has a full map, and brings several original mechanics to the table.

One big detail already leaked is the map: Lyndon Beach.

The map image was initially posted by temporyal but was quickly taken down from X (formerly Twitter) due to copyright claims — usually a sign that the info is real. However, reuploads are already floating around Reddit, keeping the leak alive.

Lyndon Beach appears to feature both a metro system and a set of classic and new environments. A few points of interest even seem to be remixes of old Battlefield locations, with The Docks potentially referencing Noshar Canals from Battlefield 3.

Gameplay-wise, most of the core elements of battle royale are here.

Players drop into a large map, collect gear, fight other squads, and stay alive as the zone shrinks. There are missions, custom loadouts, passive perks, teammate revives, and a visual HUD that displays ring movements — all standard fare. But a few mechanics might help Battlefield Royale stand out.

One of the biggest additions is the Oversight System, where dead teammates aren’t just spectators. They can help their squad by using remote cameras, drones, and turrets. If a team controls an Oversight Terminal, their fallen players can even attack enemies using gadgets like explosives.

Then there’s the class system, which brings back Battlefield’s long-time roles. Engineers can fix vehicles. Support players can provide armor. Each class brings a small but specific advantage that could help squads work together more strategically than in most BRs.

Another leak includes a feature called Shakedown. If a player is knocked down but not eliminated, enemies can interrogate them. That reveals the real-time location of their squadmates for a short time. It’s not a guaranteed win, but it does change how players approach downs and revives.

There’s also Second Chance, a brief early-game mechanic. If you’re taken out during the opening phase of the match, you’re allowed one extra spawn — a grace system for those who land in hot zones and die early.

Like Firestorm, Battlefield Royale will have a destructive ring, reportedly called the NXC Flamefront. There aren’t many details yet about how it behaves, but the name implies it’s more than just a circle of gas. If destruction mechanics are back, this ring could create tactical chaos on its own.

Battlefield Royale may be free-to-play.

This is a major shift from Firestorm, which was locked behind a Battlefield 5 purchase. Making the battle royale free could put it on equal footing with Call of Duty: Warzone, Apex Legends, and Fortnite. This model is now the standard for the genre, and it makes sense that EA would finally go this route.

This also raises the possibility of a separate client, where players don’t need to download the entire Battlefield 6 game just to play the battle royale mode. That hasn’t been confirmed, but temporyal hinted at the possibility in earlier posts.

Timing could be another factor. Battlefield 6 is expected to launch in early October 2025, according to the leaks. However, Battlefield Royale probably won’t be ready at launch. Several sources claim that the battle royale mode could arrive months later, sometime in early 2026.

This delayed rollout could be intentional. Firestorm’s biggest issue wasn’t just being paywalled — it also dropped into a stale playerbase that had already moved on. If Battlefield Studios is spacing out the releases, it might help both modes breathe.

So far, Battlefield Studios hasn’t officially said anything about the battle royale mode. The multiplayer reveal on July 31 could change that, but for now, everything mentioned comes from leaks and data-mined info.

Still, the pieces are starting to line up:

• A map with clear POIs.
• Gameplay mechanics that go beyond the basics.
• A free-to-play model.
• A delayed launch window.

It all suggests that Battlefield Royale is real, and that it’s trying to learn from past mistakes. If the multiplayer reveal confirms even half of these details, Battlefield could finally have its breakout moment in the battle royale scene.
