Battlefield 6 Fan Makes Sincere Request For a Change in How Russian Assets Are Represented In-Game

The Battlefield franchise was the king of the FPS genre for years. However, it all came crashing down after the release of Battlefield 2042, which received terrible reviews all across the board. Although DICE brought improvements to the game, it tainted the reputation of Battlefield forever.

However, EA and DICE aren’t giving up so easily, as they’re looking to redeem themselves with the upcoming Battlefield 6. After almost five years, there’s a new Battlefield on the horizon, and it’s supposed to be the biggest one yet as it brings a number of developers to the project.

It’s reported that Battlefield 6 is set to take place in a modern-day setting. While we still lack details about what this setting could entail, one thing’s for sure: the game must reapproach the representation of Russian assets, as demanded by fans.

Battlefield 6 fan urges EA to avoid glorifying Russian forces

As we’ve said before, there is still a lack of details about the story, setting, and characters for the next Battlefield game. However, it’s reported to take place in a modern-day setting between 2027 and 2030 and focus on private military groups fighting NATO. The game will take place in several locations worldwide.

Considering that Battlefield 2042 did feature Russian forces, there’s a chance we could see them returning in Battlefield 6. It’s still not clear, as rumors haven’t hinted at a return of the faction. However, if they’re given a feature, user wartexmaul on

believes they need to be carefully approached.

The Redditor has shared their own personal trauma and abuse they faced during their years in Russia, while describing the corruption and violence in the country’s forces. They simply can’t understand how games such as Battlefield glorify the Russian military, while they’re out there causing suffering for millions around the globe.

They say “Please EA” and request the developers not to erase the Russian factions from Battlefield 6, but drop the country’s current flag. They believe the game should use the white-blue-white flag associated with “free Russia”.

The Redditor recalls EA’s removal of Nazi swastikas from WWII games, and believes that a similar approach should be done for Russian forces in the next Battlefield, if there are any.

Will we see EA acting upon this player’s request? Well, no one knows for sure. Video games often fail to reflect the real state of military powers around the world, as it could hurt the sentiments of their audiences, and obviously, ruin sales.

However, EA can find some middle ground to acknowledge the sentiment of the Redditor and the thousands who share a similar sentiment.

Battlefield 6 will feature a battle royale mode

will once again experiment with a battle royale mode. (Image via EA)

EA and DICE want to return to the golden days of the Battlefield franchise with the next installment by featuring primarily on core mechanics and gameplay. However, this doesn’t mean that the development team isn’t keen on expanding to new ideas that weren’t part of the franchise before.

The latest report from ComicBook suggests that Battlefield 6 could come with its very own battle royale mode. Apparently, it’s going to be a free-to-play and standalone mode similar to what we see in Call of Duty: Warzone. While the developers might think this is a good idea to bring some fresh content, the franchise’s past with battle royales hasn’t been the best.

If you’ve forgotten already, Battlefield 5‘s Firestorm was the franchise’s first take in the battle royale genre. Although it gained acclaim for featuring the biggest map in the entirety of the series, Firestorm was plagued with bugs, glitches, a lack of updates, and, worst of all, a paywall. This ensured that the game never had a chance in the battle royale market.

However, from all the leaked information so far, it looks like DICE has taken notes from the failure of Firestorm and is changing its approach to the mode in Battlefield 6. If it’s truly a free-to-play experience that brings consistent updates, there’s a good chance that it succeeds, unlike Firestorm.

With that said, do you think EA should change its approach with any potential Russian factions in Battlefield 6? Let us know in the comments below.
