Battlefield 6 Railway to Golmud is a reimagining of the classic Battlefield 4 map, bringing it into Battlefield 6 with modern technology and new design learnings. While staying true to what made the original memorable, we’ve made a number of adjustments to improve gameplay flow, balance, and overall experience.
This is a standout example of the Battlefield sandbox where infantry, ground vehicles, jets, and helicopters collide across a wide and dynamic playspace. Want to know more? You can find all of the latest Battlefield 6 Updates, Videos, News and more right here: Battlefield 6.
Battlefield 6 Railway To Golmud - 6
Originally released in Battlefield 4, Golmud Railway was the largest map at launch (in terms of land area, for clarity to those Parcel Storm fans out there).
“We have better technology than we did 13 years ago,”
Luka Grepl-Malmgren said.
“Two of the original level artists of Battlefield 4 Golmud Railway are still here at DICE, so we all worked together to not only recreate their work, but also understand what was not possible in Battlefield 4 and bring those ideas to life in Battlefield 6.”
Featuring land and air vehicles - buggies, tanks, helicopters and jets - Battlefield 4's Golmud Railway is defined by its train: as those who played Conquest over a decade ago will tell you, once a team captured the train, it moved towards their headquarters. The train also had machine gun turrets as a means of manned defense, while large explosive devices sprinkled around the map created craters or disrupted large ground vehicle movements. In more tactical modes, the village is the focal point: abandoned houses turned into rubble by the end of a Deathmatch or Domination, lest the rooftops be controlled by Recon soldiers picking squads off with a DMR or Sniper Rifle.
In Battlefield 6, the Railway to Golmud faithfully improves these moments, starting with the train. Not only does this new railway have several carts with cover, parkour opportunities, and double the amount of engines (one on the end of each train), it also heads towards the enemy headquarters rather towards the headquarters of the team who captured the objective.
