video game,star wars video gamesBattlefield 6 Release Date Reportedly Leaks

Battlefield 6 is set for its official unveiling on July 24, but a new report might have spoiled some of the surprise. A report from reputable leaker Dealabs claims Battlefield 6 will launch on October 10 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

An October release date for Battlefield 6 was previously reported, so it's not a total shock. The latest rumor is that Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will release on November 14. If both dates are legitimate, that would put about a month of time between both releases.

It's been four years since there were new entries in the Call of Duty and Battlefield franchises releasing the same year, going back to 2021 with Call of Duty: Vanguard and Battlefield 2042.

video game,star wars video gamesAbout 30% Of The Order: 1886 Was Cut Months Before Launch, Says Ready At Dawn Co-Founder

If there's one thing Ready at Dawn co-founder Ru Weerasuriya wishes he could've done differently with The Order: 1886, it's getting more development time for the PS4 exclusive. He revealed in a new interview that the studio cut roughly 30% of the game to hit the game's release date in February 2015.

Speaking with The Game Business, Weerasuriya discussed how "we really hoped to make a sequel" to The Order: 1886 and ruminated on what happened with the game's lackluster critical reception. "The game length [GameSpot's reviewer said it took 6 hours to finish] ... that's something that a lot of people talked about at the time," Weerasuriya said. "We cut ... I want to say 30% of the game a few months before it was released. We decided it had to come out in the time allotted. Were we to do it again, I would've probably tried to figure out a way to extend the development."

In the week leading up to the game's launch on February 20, 2015, a leaked playthrough of The Order: 1886 appeared on YouTube and showed a person beating the game in five hours. This led to Ready at Dawn denying that claim days later, arguing the game's length was roughly eight to 10 hours long.
