Battlefield 6 is Bringing Back BF Portal in a Big New Way
In case you didn’t know, Battlefield Portal is coming back again for Battlefield 6! Perhaps one of the best things about Battlefield 2042, Portal is coming back and it’s going to allow players to create their own Battlefield experiences within an editor for Battlefield 6 and share them with others to play.
However, this isn’t the same experience that you remember from Battlefield 2042, as Battlefield Portal has been overhauled into a new version, with even more powerful tools.
Battlefield 6’s Portal Mode Will Let You Edit Parts of the Map, and Even Change the Game’s Genre Completely
Battlefield Portal is getting a massive upgrade when it re-launches along with Battlefield 6 this October. While it aims to continue delivering a unique, customizable experience for creators to create their own set of rules, a new Spatial Editor, powered by GODOT, is being introduced to the mode that will give creators even more power in terms of what they can customize. Creators will be able to edit the playspaces of existing maps and elements, with the ability to move some objects around.
Not only that, but Portal is also getting new custom and AI scripting tools that will allow you to create unique UIs and script NPCs’ behavior. Although we didn’t get to see it in action, the team provided some images (above) demonstrating just how insane the upgraded Portal can get, as you can see a tower built out of stacks of blocks. They’ve also shared some examples of some experiences that they created, and if you thought someone was making a Battle Royale-like mode in 2042 with the limited tools back then was crazy, get ready to be blown away with some of these examples, as it’s suggested that this new version of Portal will allow even crazier types of games.
Some examples that the team listed were:
- A horde-like mode that allows players to buy weapons from a buy screen, and survive rounds against enemy AI (Call of Duty Zombie, anyone?)
- An experience with a custom UI that delivers a classic “arcade-style” puzzle mode.
- Some verified community experiences, such as Conquest, except that there are no vehicles.
- An experience that plays like a top-down 2D shooter. Yes, you read right, sometime this year, you’re probably going to find yourself playing a top-down Battlefield game.
- An experience where players scale a tall tower, attempting to reach the top, similar to the image above.
This is just what they were able to build. Think about just how crazy things will actually get once the community has their hands on it. Hopefully, it’s a mode that gets consistent updates, as that was one of my biggest complaints about it in Battlefield 2042.
Battlefield 6 is set to arrive on October 10, 2025, on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Check out the open beta schedule and pricing of the different editions revealed by EA.
