The battle royale genre is about to get very crowded. Not only did news come this morning that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will feature some sort of battle royal mode, now it looks like EA DICE is ready to jump into the mix. Earlier today, reports from VentureBeat?s Jeffrey Grubb reveal that the studio behind the upcoming Battlefield V is testing a battle royale mode for the game.
According to someone with knowledge of the studio, DICE is trying to see if they can get a mode similar to that of Fortnite and PlayerUnknown?s Battlegrounds to work in their upcoming title. The game, which is rumored to launch later this year, is still being developed, but that seemingly hasn?t stopped the studio from trying to put together a prototype of a battle royale mode. Per the report by Grubb, if the mode is given the go-ahead by EA, it could end up in the game as a free update, but we?ll have to wait and see before we jump the gun on any speculation. All things considered, it wouldn?t be a huge stretch to see a battle royale mode implemented into Battlefield. The series has always been known for its large maps and destructible environments, so the game is kind of already a perfect match for the new genre. If you want to learn more about EA?s thought process behind the idea, make sure to check out the full report over on VentureBeat.
