Did Battlefield 6 Just Quietly Reveal a Mode Fans Have Wanted For 14 Years?

by

While Battlefield 6 hasn’t launched a major, involved quest like the Phantom Program yet, it does include several Easter eggs for players to find. The game’s trophy list is packed with fun references, and fans were excited to see mentions of Red Markers and Planet Crackers from the Dead Space series on a shop menu – a possible sign the franchise isn’t finished. There’s a nod to Battlefield Friends with a Bipod Knife appearing in a campaign mission, and even some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles references with pizzas hidden in a sewer. However, one Easter egg stands out, potentially hinting at a long-awaited feature: Dino Mode. While it’s not confirmed, this could finally bring the popular mode back after nearly fifteen years.

The History of Battlefield’s Dino Mode Gag

The idea of “Dino Mode” actually started long before Battlefield 6. It began with the early competition between Call of Duty and Battlefield. Someone pretending to be from Activision asked PC players why the original Modern Warfare 2 didn’t sell as well on computers as it did on consoles. Predictably, people online jokingly replied that the game needed dinosaurs. The developers of Battlefield (DICE) quickly joined the fun, filling BF3 with dinosaur references. A character had a dinosaur toy for his son, dinosaur toys were hidden around the Wake Island map, and you could even find dinosaur footprints on certain levels.

At the beginning of the Battlefield 6 campaign, players can find and interact with a Battlefield 3 dinosaur toy in their room before starting the first mission.

The running joke about dinosaurs has become a beloved tradition in every Battlefield game. From dinosaur keychains in Battlefield 4 to hidden fossils in Battlefield 5, these little secrets are now a core part of what makes the series special. Because of this, many fans want the dinosaurs to be more than just easter eggs – they’re hoping for a dedicated ‘Dino Mode’ similar to the popular Zombies mode in Call of Duty.

For years, developers have playfully hinted at a ‘Dino Mode’ for Battlefield, and even the official Battlefield Twitter account once asked players if they’d be interested during the Battlefield 3 era. There was even excitement for a Dino Mode in Battlefield 5 sparked by dinosaur-themed GIFs from the developers, but those turned out to be references to a hidden Pterodactyl Easter egg. Because of all the false starts, many fans have lost hope, but the latest hints feel more promising than previous ones.

Battlefield 6’s Dino Mode ‘Teaser’ Explained

Players exploring the Iberian Offensive map in Battlefield 6 have spotted a poster for a movie called “Battlesaurus.” This seems like a typical Battlefield dinosaur joke – something you’d see, chuckle at, and forget. However, the poster also includes the word “Spring,” which feels intentional. While real posters often show release dates, the developers could have used a specific date if they wanted realism, or even a past date if they weren’t trying to build anticipation. Just saying “Spring” suggests that new content – possibly a “Dino Mode” – will be released during that season. This kind of teaser makes sense for BF6 because it’s a game that’s constantly updated with new features.

Okay, so I’m really hoping we get that dinosaur mode in Battlefield 6, and it seems like Season 3 is the perfect time. From what I’ve heard, that season should kick off around April 14th, which would be awesome!

Okay, so we don’t have a firm end date for the first season yet, but looking at the roadmap for the game, it’s probably wrapping up in mid-to-late January. If they’re going with a standard 12-week season, expect it to end around January 20th. Everyone’s been talking about a dinosaur mode, and honestly, it feels too big to just be a small event in Season 2 this spring. It seems like something that deserves to be the main focus of an entire season. That makes me think it’ll be perfect for Season 3, which should kick off around April 14th. Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s no guarantee this dino mode is actually happening. This could be another tease that leads nowhere, so I’m trying not to get too hyped until we get an official announcement, even though that spring mention feels pretty intentional.

DICE, the studio behind Battlefield, has always playfully included dinosaurs as hidden details and cosmetic items. Now, with multiple teams working on the franchise, Battlefield Studios might finally make ‘Dino Mode’ a reality next year. The success of a new project like Battlefield RedSec suggests there are enough resources to bring dinosaurs into actual combat, instead of just having them appear in the background. It’s unclear if this mode would focus on completing objectives or surviving waves, or what kinds of prehistoric creatures would be featured. Regardless, turning Battlefield’s long-running dinosaur joke into a regular player-versus-environment (PvE) feature would be fascinating. Just look at Call of Duty Zombies – it started as a seemingly silly idea in 2008 and has become incredibly popular. So, fighting a T-Rex in a tank could be just as enjoyable as it sounds!
