๐Ÿ“บ Battlefield 6 Teases Its Battle Royale Mode Ahead of October Launch

Battlefield 6 teases its Battle Royale mode ahead of its October 10, 2025 launch. EA has officially confirmed that Battlefield 6 will include a full-fledged Battle Royale experience, dropping players into vast, vehicle-studded arenas for high-stakes, last-man-standing combat. A chaotic teaser trailer released on the Battlefield X feed gives a glimpse of infantry skirmishes, tanks tearing through dusty plains, and flying jets locking onto unsuspecting foes, all set to a pounding soundtrack. This sneak peek, highlighted in the IGN article on the Battle Royale reveal, teases new map layouts, dynamic weather effects, and a record-breaking player count that aims to rival other genre heavyweights. Having spent hundreds of hours in premium shooters, I can tell you this tease is a big deal.


How to pre-load Battlefield 6 for seamless day-one action. With Battlefield 6 set to launch on October 10, 2025, you'll want to get ahead of the pack by pre-loading the game on your platform of choice. On PC, open the EA App (formerly Origin), search for "Battlefield 6", then click Pre-load to download the roughly 60 GB installer ahead of time. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S owners can visit their respective digital stores to initiate a pre-download, ensuring you're ready to drop in the moment servers go live. If you're curious about full-scale Conquest battles while you wait, check out the multiplayer gameplay video of a full Conquest match on Siege of Cairo to whet your appetite and refine your vehicle-to-infantry tactics before launch.

๐Ÿ“บ Hollow Knight: Silksong's Epic Journey Through Delays and Demos

What we know about Hollow Knight: Silksong's timeline so far. Team Cherry's long-awaited sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, has a storied history stretching back to its 2014 Kickstarter origins and a hands-on demo showcased in 2019. An in-depth feature by IGN delves into how the sequel's scope ballooned beyond initial expectations, prompting a delay announcement in 2023 as the development team worked to polish Hornet's new abilities and expansive kingdoms. Fans have watched every developer update with bated breath, but as of now, there's still no official release date for Silksong, which promises double jumps, silk-based grappling, and a sprawling Metroidvania world to explore. For an early glimpse, don't miss the Xbox Game Pass reveal trailer from the 2022 showcase.


How to follow Hollow Knight: Silksong's development updates. If you want to be first in line when Hornet's adventure finally arrives, start by wishlisting Hollow Knight: Silksong on Steamโ€”this ensures you receive an automatic notification the instant a launch date is announced. You can also follow Team Cherry's official Twitter feed and join the lively community on Discord, where the team occasionally drops art, boss music snippets, and patch notes. A concise summary of the 2023 delay can be found in Griffin Matta's tweet, highlighting how Silksong's ambitions grew well beyond its original blueprint. Whether you're revisiting Hallownest or diving in for the first time, keeping an eye on these channels will guarantee you don't miss a single hornet strike.

Viewers caught the announcement in the official Season Pass 4 trailer, where Lucy's fluid gun-kata and stylish costume changes stole the show. Known to fans of the Netflix series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Lucy brings a lethal mix of long-range zoning and close-quarters acrobatics, complete with a neon-drenched arena theme that pays homage to her dystopian origins.
