A major topic of speculation has also been about whether Battlefield 6 will have crossplay. Given that Call of Duty Warzone has implemented the function to great success, it would be surprising if this was not available. With Call of Duty being its direct competitor, Battlefield may need to follow in those footsteps to make a mark. It would easily make the promise of massive battles that much more possible. And that much more chaotic. This is where Battlefield has often had a leg up on the competition. If Battlefield 6 can nail its launch and successfully rollout crossplay alongside it, we could very well be seeing the next big contender in the competitive shooter scene.

Wilson went on to say that the development on Battlefield 6 is actually ahead of schedule. Further stating that it is on par to be the earliest complete installment in the franchise. It was already confirmed for Holiday 2021 release according to a previous financial report. With progress on the upcoming title being so positive, it looks like With an official first look coming this coming spring.
