With Battlefield 6, EA has announced the latest installment of its popular shooter series. Now there is the first trailer that shows the game’s setting in more detail.
What kind of trailer is this? Four years after the release of Battlefield 2042, Electronic Arts and DICE presented the first trailer for Battlefield 6 on July 24, 2025, revealing how the popular franchise will continue.
We get a first impression of the story campaign. The nearly 2-minute reveal trailer of the shooter starts from the perspective of a camera facing the microphones of a podium, at which a politician later gives a speech to the people. In the background, conversations can be heard that refer to a parallel military operation.
Additionally, the trailer shows, as is customary with Battlefield trailers, action-packed battles in various locations, chaos, and destruction—accompanied by dramatic music and the typical Battlefield roar.
Moreover, we see a fairly modern setting with weapons and vehicles of the current era, reminiscent of Battlefield 3 and 4. The scenery does not appear futuristic like in 2042 or historical like in the last installments, 1 and V.
What is known about Battlefield 6 so far? Not much is known yet about the latest installment in the series. Rumor has it that Battlefield 6 will be released in October 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S (via Reddit).
Furthermore, we already know that there will be servers with class-bound weapons. Additionally, unlike the predecessor Battlefield 2042, Battlefield 6 is also said to include a story campaign again. Leaks in recent months have also mentioned a free battle royale mode, similar to Call of Duty: Warzone.
The multiplayer of Battlefield 6 is set to be revealed on July 31.
EA and DICE need to win back the trust of fans with Battlefield 6 after the predecessor 2042 turned out to be a major disappointment for veterans of the series in various areas. Fans wish for proper classes instead of specialists, a server browser, and a scoreboard would also be nice at launch. EA must avoid a launch like that of 2042: Battlefield 2042 is being ripped apart on Steam, only 21% positive reviews
