A Battlefield 6 leak indicates the upcoming FPS will feature a map inspired by one of Christopher Nolan’s movies. The Battlefield series is known for feature some of the greatest multiplayer action out there. While the series has struggled with recent entries like Battlefield 2042, the bar was set an exceptionally high level with games like Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. There are very few games that manage to capture the scale of all-out warfare with land, air, and sea combat that combines all kinds of vehicles and weaponry. A lot of players long for a return to the golden age of the series and EA hopes to achieve that with the next title.

Battlefield 6 is set to be the most ambitious game in the series and has had the most amount of money and resources thrown at it than other game in the franchise. It’s a high priority for EA as the series has struggled for so many years with rocky entries. If done right, Battlefield could be a live service juggernaut for EA and allow them a sustainable game outside of its annualized sports titles. As of right now, not much is known about the shooter, but EA is ramping up its efforts to release Battlefield 6 sometime in the next year.
Battlefield 6 is currently preparing for big playtests which will allow the developers to take player feedback and shape the game with players in mind. While a lot of the core foundation has already been put in place, EA is taking care to iron out bugs, balance the game, and more with fans and their feedback. However, it seems like this testing began earlier than we though. Last year, there was a leak that talked about Battlefield 6 before anyone knew much about it. Fans wrote it off because there was no way to verify any of the information, but it appears to have been confirmed as real.
Battlefield 6 Will Reportedly Have a Map Inspired by Christopher Nolan’s Tenet
The leak claimed the game was codenamed Glacier and the recent deep dive into the upcoming Battlefield 6 playtests confirmed that. With that said, fans have been picking apart this leak for more insight on the game. One thing that has stood out to fans is that Battlefield 6 will supposedly feature a map inspired by Christopher Nolan’s Tenet. The map in question is currently known as Tungsten and resembles the setting of the final battle in the film. Essentially, a giant desolate location with a handful of abandoned buildings that create verticality and if it’s totally accurate to the film, possibly an underground area. You can get an idea of it in this video below.
Given that the final battle of Tenet is already kind of like a big Battlefield match with tons of soldiers and explosions, it seems fitting. Of course, it’s still worth taking all of this with a grain of salt. Things could change before the game releases and result in the map being cut or changed in a big way. It’s also possible that the leaker got really lucky by guessing the codename or received that information independently of everything else. However, it seems plausible enough at the moment.
As of right now, EA has yet to put a firm release date on Battlefield 6. The publisher is supposedly waiting to see what the competition looks like in the back half of the year and is likely looking to avoid going up against GTA 6. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens, but players will get the opportunity to go hands-on with it in the coming months as EA ramps up playtesting. There will also likely be a larger public beta to stress test servers before it drops as well.
