EA announced today that Battlefield Redsec, the free-to-play battle royale that the company says is “built on Battlefield’s iconic DNA,” is available now.
Here’s how EA describes the mode in a press release:
As part of this free-to-play package, players can jump into Battlefield’s biggest map ever Fort Lyndon, and experience an explosive new take on the Battle Royale genre. Battlefield’s DNA is fused with the best of the Battle Royale genre, creating unrivaled opportunities for your team to approach each match and achieve ultimate victory. Players drop into a massive battle with 100 players, explore a massive world for powerful loot, and take down enemy squads through Battlefield’s signature gameplay experience. The power of Tactical Destruction brings an entirely new level of strategy to the genre, as players create their own paths to victory or turn the environment into their own deadly weapon while crushing opposing squads. Each round is a bombastic ride on an incredible cinematic scale that Battlefield is known for.
EA has an article on its website diving deeper into Redsec and how it plays, including details about classes, the flow of a match, weapon upgrades, and in-game missions.
Redsec also offers a new “Gauntlet” mode. “In this fast-paced elimination mode, 8 teams of 4-player squads compete in a series of dynamic round-based missions in a tournament-style format,” EA says. “Each round consists of 5-minute windows for squads to complete their mission objectives.”
On Tuesday, EA released the first of three phases for Battlefield 6, Season 1, too. This initial phase of content includes a new map, a new 4v4 multiplayer mode, and a new vehicle. In November, EA plans to add a new map and a new mode, and in December, EA will give the Empire State map an icy makeover. EA has also added an in-game radio station to Battlefield 6 and Redsec featuring music from artists like Limp Bizkit, Bob Dylan, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre.
Redsec and season 1 are being released a little over two weeks after the launch of Battlefield 6. EA needed Battlefield 6 to be a hit, and so far, the full game has gotten off to a good start, selling more than 7 million copies in the first three days of launch.
