Battlefield 6 Leak Appears To Showcase Fan-Favourite Rush Mode
Posted to Twitter by the name Rain—as well as Reddit before it was removed by Moderators—the video highlights the mode's Attacker gameplay, showcasing the game's destruction physics and an impressively smooth online environment (for an Alpha, anyway).
The gameplay is seemingly from the Battlefield Labs Alpha Test, and it was not meant to be published publicly, since the alpha requires players to sign an agreement not to share footage or details online. However, this is only one of several leaks that have come from the Alpha, as a video leaked back in May had former Battlefield producer David Goldfarb comment that the game had 'Bad Company 2 vibes.'
Many of the people who saw the footage on Twitter (X) commented with a mix of excitement and skepticism, with the top comment saying, 'How does it end up looking more like MW2019 every time something new leaks?' Several others commented on how guns seem to lack any recoil from firing and how movement speed seems a lot faster.
The wait for Battlefield 6 (which isn't its official title) has been pretty long and arduous. A now-debunked 'leak' said it was initially set to be revealed on June 9, 2021, and several more have shown its active development. Following Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V which were set during WWI and WWII respectivley, its been praised by fans as a solid return-to-form as a more modern military shooter.
While concrete details from both DICE and EA are few and far between Battlefield 6, or whatever it ends up being officially titled, is set to launch in March 2026. However, while some have theorized that this may change due to the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI in the same month, CEO Andrew Wilson has confirmed they aren't intending on competing.

So, Why is Cate Blanchett in ‘Squid Game' Season 3?
If you just couldn't wait (much like myself) and binged all six episodes of Squid Game season three, you may have spotted actress Cate Blanchett in the final scenes of the Netflix show. The actress could be seen wearing a suit as she played ddakji with a stranger, just like the The Recruiter does when selecting players for the brutal games. The 56-year-old Hollywood star's cameo in the Korean thriller had viewers completely thrown as they took to X (formerly Twitter). "WDYM Cate Blanchett is in Squid Game s3?" one viewer wrote in all caps. "Seeing Cate Blanchett in Squid Game as The Recruiter is the best thing I ever witnessed," another said. Cate Blanchett in Squid Game S3 was not on my 2025 Bucket List, but here the f**k we are," a third wrote. So, why exactly is Cate Blanchett in the final installment of Squid Game? Here's everything you need to know. Speaking about his reason to cast Cate Blanchett, the show's director Hwang Dong-hyul explained: "We thought having a woman as a Recruiter would be more dramatic and intriguing." "And as for why Cate Blanchett, she's just the best, with unmatched charisma. Who doesn't love her? So we were very happy to have her appear. We needed someone who could dominate the screen with just one or two words, which is exactly what she did." Hwang continued: "If Gong Yoo is the Korean Recruiter, I thought she would be the perfect fit as the American Recruiter, bringing a short but gripping and impactful ending to the story." Following the final round of games, the Front Man (Lee Byung-hu) finds himself in a car in Downtown Los Angeles. While stopped at a light, he hears some familiar sounds of two ddakji tiles hitting ground, followed by a sharp slap. He rolls down the window to see a suited Cate Blanchett playing ddakji with a man. Blanchett looks up and exchanges a knowing glance with the Front Man, before the car pulls away. "During the shoot, she reminded me of what true talent looks like. Even with just a few looks and lines, her performance was mesmerizing," Hwang added. "She was amazing at playing ddakji. I believe she successfully flipped the ddakji with her first try, and we were able to get that one long take right away." Last year, it was reported that director David Fincher, who is behind Netflix's House of Cards, was working on an American version of Squid Game. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk also confirmed to TheWrap: "Season three is not going to be the end of the Squid Game universe" and Lee Jung-jae, who portrays Seong Gi-hun, expressed his excitement over Fincher's adaption, telling Complex: "I'm looking forward to it so much, I can't wait to see it and I have high expectations." Well if Cate's in it, we're sold!

Dad Tests Parenting Tip From Internet 14 Years Ago, Results Blow Him Away
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A dad is going viral after sharing a simple parenting tip he "stole," which made his daughter cry 14 years later. In a post on Reddit, u/MYSTERees77 said he had read a comment on the discussion platform how they had received a book called Oh, the Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss at their high school graduation. The original poster, who did not share any of the names in his family, loved the idea and started the tradition behind the scenes with his then-4-year-old daughter. Stock photo: A woman smiles at her graduation outdoors. Stock photo: A woman smiles at her graduation outdoors. PeopleImages This week, as his daughter graduated high school at the top of her class, decorated with awards, her parents finally presented her with the book—now filled with handwritten messages from every one of her teachers from kindergarten through 12th grade. "At first, [she] thought it was just the book, with the first two pages being recently written notes by her mother and I," the father told Newsweek. "It wasn't until the third page or so that she realized it wasn't just recent teachers, but all her teachers that she started to cry," the dad said. "Then she started laughing when reading some of her favorite teachers' comments." The father said that they had a couple of close calls when it came to keeping the book a secret. "We were lucky that some of their friends had parents who were teachers in the school," he said. "They also went to small public schools where the teachers were all very involved, so getting in touch with their teachers has always been easy. My wife would put it in a manilla envelope and send it to the office." The book even traveled across the world with the family, as the children spent a year living abroad in Austria. "Their teachers in Austria, although they only knew them for a year, had a great sense of the kind of kids they were," the father said. Reflecting on the past 14 years, he added that it made him realize how fast time goes, especially as a parent. "It seemed like only a couple of years ago that I saw a post on Reddit, you blink and they're grown," the dad said. "But, for my daughter's journey, it's been her whole life. And you can see that spunky, delightful, smart little girl with a bob at 4 being the same core person throughout, minus the bob." To those inspired to start the tradition themselves, the father advised parents to start early and be organized. "Inform their teacher at the beginning of the year when you first meet them," he said. "And, most importantly, talk to your kids' teachers!"

Fliers with a mysterious cartoon are papering S.F. streets. We found out why
Cryptic fliers started appearing on San Francisco telephone poles this week, offering little more than a smiling cartoon figure, a website and a phone number to text. The analog approach to getting the word out marks the return of Pursuit, the city's favorite scavenger hunt. The 15 friends who designed the clues would prefer to remain anonymous, and that every element of the hunt be a surprise. But there is one thing organizers do want you to know: There's absolutely no catch. 'We don't have any ulterior motive here,' said Pursuit co-creator Riley Walz. 'It's family-friendly. It's totally free. We want people to have a good time, meet new friends, explore San Francisco and maybe visit a few (small) businesses along the way.' Walz is known to San Franciscans as the creator of the Bop Spotter, a Shazam-enabled solar-powered phone planted in the Mission District, auto-curating a Spotify playlist of a street corner's music. He was also part of a team of pranksters that created demand for an imaginary New York steak house with a flood of fake reviews, then made it real for a night. Pursuit is arguably the most ambitious project yet. Last year, the month-long game, with a few clues doled out per week, ended with more than 1,000 participants. Three hundred of them gathered to celebrate the scavenger hunt (and San Francisco) at Jerry Garcia Amphitheater in McLaren Park. Since March, the group has been thinking up a dozen or more clues for this year's hunt that require city exploration, a little problem-solving, and a lot of joy. There's no leaderboard, and everyone's a winner. (There's also no cash prize, as there allegedly was in an unrelated Reddit treasure hunt in May.) Organizers declined to disclose what surprises this year's Pursuit holds. Players are instructed to simply text 415-888-9518, and then wait until July 12. But last year was a blast, filled with city discoveries and creative flourishes that reflect the creators, many of whom work in tech. One clue was a simple YouTube livestream looking out of a second-story apartment window; players had to inspect the video to pick up clues — including one barely visible street sign — and find the location. 'It was funny, because as you were watching it, you could see the players ahead of you, looking at the camera, pointing and solving it in real time,' Walz said. 'It was also proof to us that people were actually doing this.' Another clue came from a series of working telephones planted in businesses, including a hamburger-shaped phone in Flippin Burger on Haight Street. And yet another involved a fill-in-the-blanks worksheet on Waverly Place, which led viewers a few blocks away to the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory. At that popular tourist spot, 500 cookies with special scavenger hunt-specific fortunes were waiting for contestants who asked for 'Percy.' (The group's name for the cartoon character in the fliers.) The cynicism-free event, Walz said, offers proof that San Francisco is still a very fun place. Over half of the businesses approached to participate, sometimes with very strange requests, were more than game. Organizers last year witnessed players gathering as the clues were distributed, making new friends, and patronizing nearby businesses. The meet-up in McLaren Park had the vibes of a happy reunion. The group's small budget is covered by anonymous sponsors, including hundreds of dollars to print physical fliers. New clues will drop every week, but they're not sequential, so players can set their own pace. Walz said the group will be excited to see the turnout, hoping to double last year's participation. Strong curiosity on Reddit should help get to 2,000 players or more. But ultimately he said Pursuit is about the journey, not any marketing goals or target numbers. 'I don't think this could really happen in many other places in the world,' Walz said, 'where you just put up fliers and get this whole almost cult-like horde of people that are trying to (complete) your puzzle.'
