Battlefield 6 Will Bring Back Wake Island For The (Checks Notes) 11th Time

https://www.gamespot.com/games/battlefield-6/">Battlefield 6 is bringing back the Wake Island map back to the series for what is close to the dozenth time, as developer Battlefield Studios revealed plans to add naval warfare to its live-service shooter as part of Season 4 in July.

Wake Island is one of the Battlefield franchise's most iconic maps, having appeared in 2002's original https://www.gamespot.com/games/battlefield-1942/">Battlefield 1942 and nine other entries since then, with its most recent https://www.gamespot.com/games/battlefield-v/">Battlefield V version releasing in 2019.

Its appearance in Battlefield 6 will be the 11th version of the map, and it sounds like there won't be too many changes from what players expect.

Speaking during a press Q&A, Battlefield Studio senior creative director Roman Campos-Oriola was asked how this version of Wake Island would be different from previous iterations.

He said the team looked to improve how long-distance engagements play out on the island map, with a focus on providing additional cover and adjusting the map based on how Battlefield 6's destructible environments play into the experience.
