EA’s ambitious Battlefield 6 may soon expand its multiplayer lineup even further. According to a recent datamine, nine new game modes are currently in development — some already confirmed, others still in early prototype stages. These additions could mark a major step in the game’s post-launch roadmap as DICE and Ripple Effect continue refining the Battlefield experience.
Battlefield 6 Datamine Hints at Expanding Post-Launch Content
The discovery, first reported by Insider Gaming, reveals that several unreleased multiplayer modes have been uncovered within Battlefield 6’s game files. The leak identifies nine upcoming modes, combining both previously known and newly surfaced ones.
From earlier datamines, six hidden modes were spotted prior to the launch of Season One. Two of them — Sabotage and Strikepoint — have since been confirmed, leaving Raid, Payload, Squad Shootout, and Tank Hunt still unannounced.
The latest file dig adds five more prototypes to that list:
| Category | Mode Name | Development Status |
|---|---|---|
| Prototype | Convoy | Early-stage |
| Prototype | Fantastic Four | Early-stage |
| Prototype | Gunmaster | Early-stage |
| Prototype | Touchdown | Early-stage |
| Prototype | Tug of War | Early-stage |
Together, these bring the total to nine new game modes currently being worked on for future updates.
What Each Mode Might Offer
While no official details have been released, the file names themselves offer interesting clues:
- Gunmaster – A returning classic for Battlefield veterans, inspired by Gun Game from Call of Duty. Players advance through a weapon ladder with each kill, culminating in a melee finish to secure victory.
- Tug of War – Likely a dynamic, territory-based mode where teams capture and reclaim flags to push enemy lines back and forth across the map — echoing the intensity of Breakthrough.
- Convoy – The name hints at an escort-style mode involving vehicle protection or interception, reminiscent of payload missions in Overwatch or Team Fortress 2.
- Touchdown – Possibly football-inspired or objective-based, where teams compete to deliver or “score” an item into enemy territory.
- Fantastic Four – The most cryptic title; it could involve four-player squads or unique class-based challenges.
It’s unclear whether all these prototypes will make it to the final release, as some could remain internal experiments or seasonal event modes.
How This Fits Into Battlefield 6’s Roadmap
Battlefield 6 already offers a robust selection of 11 multiplayer modes, with Sabotage and Ice Lock confirmed for rollout later in the current season. These new additions would dramatically expand gameplay variety, giving both casual and competitive players new ways to engage.
EA and DICE have been transparent about their long-term vision — to make Battlefield 6 the franchise’s most “expansive and continuously evolving experience.” Post-launch updates, live events, and frequent content patches have kept the player base active, even amid early technical issues.
