The new Battlefield battle royale game has been officially confirmed. The game, called Battlefield: Redsec, will launch on October 28 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET. As rumored, it will be free-to-play.
Battlefield Studios announced a battle royale game or mode based on Battlefield 6 a long time ago, and has allowed testers to play it already, but this is the first time the developer is revealing its name, release date, and business model. All of these key details leaked already.
The name Redsec appears to be a shorter version of "Redacted Sector," based on the teaser art.
Redsec goes live on the same day as Battlefield 6's Season 1 update, so it's shaping up to be a busy week for Battlefield fans. It's also a busy time for the FPS space in general, as the PvPvE game Arc Raiders launches on October 30, with Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 coming in November.
Battlefield 6 got off to a hot start earlier this month, selling 7 million copies right out of the gate, representing the "biggest opening" of all time for the storied FPS series.
Redsec will come to an already-crowded market for battle royale games, with titles like PUBG, Fortnite, Call of Duty: Warzone, and EA's own Apex Legends standing as the heavyweights currently.
