Battlefield 6 leak from ratings board details single-player mode and violence during campaign

The Battlefield 6 playtest has solved several multiplayer mysteries. Still, there is less known about its single-player campaign. Found by Twisted Voxel, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) ratings board in Singapore just added a record for the game. With a few additional details, the site confirms what EA has already shared about its narrative. The IMDA also rates Battlefield 6 as Mature 18, highlighting some of the gore that players can expect.

The storyline centers around a struggle involving NATO and Pax Armada, a private military collective. Instead of Battlefield 1 or Battlefield 5, which features many different characters, the description suggests a focus on one U.S. Marine, or at least a single unit. Squad members will join the soldier in battles spread across the globe. Cinematic interludes between missions will help to advance the plot.

As some participants have noted during the Battlefield 6 playtest, there is an emphasis on close-range combat. The IMDA confirms the face-to-face engagements, which may concern gamers who are unhappy with the smaller maps. Players will have pistols at their disposal, but can attack from a distance with rifles and turret-mounted vehicles.

Not surprisingly, EA’s latest shooter may not be appropriate for the youngest and most impressionable gamers. Players can expect foul language and blood-stained battlefields. One particularly graphic scene involves a dismembered thumb. The ESRB in North America or PEGI in Europe has yet to add the game to their websites.

One of many criticisms of Battlefield 2042 was the lack of a single-player mode. EA aims to satisfy a wider audience on the October 10th Battlefield 6 release date. The intelligence of computer-controlled enemies may impact how eager gamers are to complete the campaign. With bots in the training grounds of the playtest, gamers can already face off with AI-powered enemies.
