After months of playtesting in Battlefield Labs, Battlefield’s free-to-play battle royale component is ready for the masses.
Ahead of tomorrow’s season one launch in Battlefield 6, EA has announced that the mode, called Battlefield: RedSec, will launch with the new season at 10am CT. Other than some leaked footage of playtests, the mode is largely secretive, so tomorrow will be a new adventure for gamers everywhere.
Info about RedSec (short for Redacted Sector) has been steadily leaking over the past few months, with ModernWarzone spearheading the report that the game would be releasing with season one as a shadow-drop. It’s now confirmed, and it’s not too late to call in sick to work.
RedSec will feature Battlefield 6 gameplay alongside “the deadliest ring” in BR that will kill players on contact. The mode features its own map along with vehicles, environmental destruction, squad play with role-specific abilities, and more.
Like BF6, RedSec will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. It’s assumed that it may share some progression and unlockables with the base game, but official details are yet to be announced. Players will not need to own BF6 to play RedSec, though, as the BR mode is a fully free-to-play experience similar to Call of Duty’s Warzone.
Buckle up, gamers. A new BR has entered the fray, and it’s suddenly less than 24 hours away.
