Currently, not much official information has been shared aboutBattlefield 6apart from its release window, with rumors making up much of the discussion regarding the sequel. The latestBattlefield 6theory sees fans believing that the game may also see one popular feature return when it does come, and it should be familiar to those who playedBattlefield 3,Battlefield 4, orBattlefield Hardline.
The Battlelog system was first introduced inthe belovedBattlefield 3, with the feature quickly proving to be a massive hit with the game’s player base. An external website that tracked everything from stats with specific weapons to time in vehicles and overall wins, provided detailed information on how each and everyBattlefieldfan was performing in their games. The website also boasted a vibrant forums section for fans of the series to debate and discuss the game as well as off-topic issues.

A less expansive but still useful in-game version of the Battlelog was added toBattlefield 4, though with the release ofBattlefield 1, the support for battlelog officially ended. Thecompanion app was rebrandedback in 2016, andBattlefield 5included no mention of the Battlelog system whatsoever. However, the Twitter account for Battlelog randomly became active on January 27, with a random Retweet and actual post from the Battlelog page capturing the attention of longtime fans due to the page’s most recent Tweet coming back in 2014.
The tweet itself is nothing spectacular, as it details a random fix forBattlefield 3andBattlefield 4expansions. However, the news has already started to get fanstheorizing aboutBattlefield 6and the inclusion of Battlelog, as many would surely like to see the website return. Having a social media-like app for a video game was a novel idea, and the stat-tracking features that came with the Battlelog made it easier for players to keep an eye on whether they or their friends were improving.
WithBattlefield 6supposedlytaking inspiration fromBattlefield 3, one great way to call back to the successful entry in the series would be to bring back Battlelog. More than just a bit of nostalgia for old school fans, the app’s return could prove to be useful and engaging for newcomers. With the account becoming active again after such a long period of time, it seems unlikely that DICE would have used it to announce this random fix when any otherBattlefield-related social media account would have sufficed.
Still, while Battlelog users may be excited to see the page becoming active after such a long downtime, there is no confirmation that the featurewill be seen inBattlefield 6. As such, this rumor should be taken with a grain of salt — though Battlelog’s return is looking far likelier than it did before the Tweet was posted.
