Battlefield’s Twitter account sends ‘encrypted transmission’ to influencers

The official Battlefield Twitter account has sent out a cryptic message to various influencers.

The message is mocked up in the form of an encrypted radio broadcast intercepted by naval signal corps.

Large parts of the message are obscured although several parts are legible, including “with a heavy hear, I must tell you the truth”, “do we dare to fight for a better world” and “war is the only way home.”

EA confirmed on Tuesday that it will reveal the next Battlefield game on June 9, ahead of its cross-gen release for consoles and PC this holiday season.

A low-quality version of what is claimed to be a Battlefield 6 trailer leaked in full last week.

According to influencer Tom Henderson, who has published several Battlefield 6 reports over the past few months, some of which have been corroborated by journalists, the game will have a near future setting.

It’s said to take place after Battlefield 4 and centre on the “next world war”. USA versus Russia is at the heart of the global conflict and players reportedly assume the role of “an elite unit hired by these superpowers”.

Battlefield 4 is currently available as a free download to Amazon Prime customers as part of its Prime Gaming subscription.
