The next battlefield focuses on destruction in its gameplay

Destruction has been a hallmark of the battlefield for years, and the dice looks even more powerful in the next battleground game.

The developers have recently given up video and Battlefield Lab Community Updateto focus on the next entry in the Battlefield series. In the former alpha video, we can see some damage to the dice design as the explosiveness reduces one side of the building, opening up new pathways through the structure.

DICE says disruption can provide creative solutions for players, and in community updates it is working to add more depth to the game by allowing players to reshape their surroundings. Whether you're dropping the wall to fire an ambush or opening up new paths to key points, it can sometimes help to get those nasty buildings out of their way.

“We are pursuing destruction around easily recognizable visual and audio languages, which allows you to understand what you can destroy, change or convert through gameplay,” Dice said. “Our goal is to make destruction an integral part of your battlefield experience to create an intuitive, fun and meaningful environment where you have the ability to shape the world around you.”

Different effects can affect structures such as walls. While the explosion is obviously effective, the bullets will also disappear so players can shoot through them. Audio VFX prompts let players know that their efforts are working.

The consequences of all these destruction also left a tangible impact on the battlefield. For example, rubble caused by destroying a building will remain on site and can be used as a cover. The next battlefield certainly seems to be destroyed in my mind.

The next battlefield game commonly known as “Battlefield 6” is slowly forming.
