Electronic Arts is on the road to release Battlefield 6 later this year. However, there are some interesting updates regarding the game that suggest the kind of adventure fans can expect from it. An industry insider has revealed that Battlefield 6 will have fully destructible cities.

Destruction has been a regular feature of Battlefield games, starting from Battlefield 1942. This destructive ability gained proper ground and became more effective in the titles that followed, made capable by the Frostbite Engine.

This feature basically allows players to break objects, cover, and sometimes even buildings. Destruction changes the dynamics of the map and reveals new play style. In the later versions of the series, destruction of buildings inflicted damage to enemies. Therefore, players used this feature often as an offensive technique to kill enemies by bringing down entire buildings on them.

Henderson has always been very reliable about his information on Battlefield. The photo he posted on Twitter is from the Siege of Shanghai multiplayer map from Battlefield 4. Players could bring down the central skyscraper on the map. Henderson’s statement proposes that more structures inside a city map can be destroyed in the upcoming Battlefield 6.
