In Battlefield 6 there will be the usual classes for your soldiers at release, and accordingly, you can also equip them with skins, but many fans have great concerns about this.
What are the fans concerned about? Skins, because fans have to deal with them in matches. As in Battlefield 2042 and every other multiplayer shooter with microtransactions, there will also be skins for your classes in Battlefield 6. This topic often fuels discussions in the communities, because many of these skins do not fit the serious and dark worlds of war games.
Call of Duty is following the path of Fortnite and is releasing outfits for its operators that come from cartoon series, animes, or demonic worlds. Even if these skins look good, they do not fit the narrative of the games, and thus they disturb many players during their rounds.
Many have hoped that Battlefield 6 would not go the same way as its predecessor – it should remain realistic. It’s good that the multiplayer reveal took place, because new details regarding the skins have been revealed, and many players might now be excited.
“Fits the Universe”
What have the developers said about the skins? The gaming site comicbook.com had the chance to speak with the Senior Producer of DICE, David Sirland, and Alexia Christofi, Producer of DICE, and ask them some questions.
The last question from the editor revolved around the skins and how much the studio wants to express itself. Will it go the way of CoD, or will it remain true to its roots and be realistic? Here’s what the developers had to say:
What I want to say is that it is really important for us that things feel solid, and we want people to express themselves and have cool skins, along the lines of: “I look pretty cool and have this great weapon skin.”
Nevertheless, the focus should be on the universe of Battlefield 6, say the developers. There should be skins that look cool and distinguish you from other classes. Recon should have antennas on their gear, while other classes come with a ghillie suit – everything should be coherent.
It sounds like loud skins, like we know them from Call of Duty, are not the developers’ goal. It remains to be seen whether this will change over the course of the release or if DICE will stick to their idea.
When is the release of Battlefield 6? During the multiplayer reveal, DICE also announced the release date for Battlefield 6. It will start on October 10th. There are also more details regarding the price and pre-order bonuses. You can find more about it in our release HUB: Battlefield 6: All important information about release, beta and early access
