The first trailer for Battlefield 6 has been released and promises a lot of action and explosions. The trailer is also well received by many fans, but some users advise caution since the trailers for the predecessor also looked good.
Battlefield fans have been in a difficult situation over the last few years. Battlefield 2042 was released in 2021 and did not go down well due to many innovations that fans did not like. Even though EA has tried multiple times to save the game, it was simply too late for many players.
While the major competitor Call of Duty has been able to celebrate successes with new titles, the name Battlefield has not been as present. After 4 years, EA has now presented a first trailer for Battlefield 6, which focuses on modern settings and large-scale destruction.
The trailer is generally received well, but not everyone is immediately hyped. Some users urge caution and wish that a certain trend does not make it into the game.
Here you can watch the trailer:
Fans are hoping for one thing: a grounded Battlefield
How are fans reacting? If you take a look at the Reddit post or the YouTube comments on the reveal trailer, it seems that what has been seen is generally well received. Especially the atmosphere and the modern approach seem to please users. Comparisons are made with the film Civil War from 2024, which shows a modern war setting in the USA.
For many, there is hope that Battlefield can meet expectations once again. @Vadact writes in a YouTube comment: DICE has the chance to deliver something great here. Don’t mess it up!
Other users hope for an experience similar to Battlefield 3 or Battlefield 4.
Even in our comments on the trailer reveal there is positive feedback, even though it is noticeable that EA needs to convince the fans with more information.
Not everyone is hyped in general. unfit-spartan-baby writes on Reddit, for example, that the trailer looks good, but that the trailer for Battlefield 2042 also looked good. He warns against reaching for the wallet too quickly. No-Bath-400 (via Reddit) is generally satisfied but says: We shouldn’t get our hopes up too high
.
Even if Call of Duty may have been more successful in recent years, there is a trend that some commentators under the YouTube video do not want to see in Battlefield: colorful skins. @penguinnnnnnnn766 writes, for example: No absurd skins, no crazy movements.
In general, it can be said: Battlefield fans want a serious, grounded setting, and the first trailer seems to be the first step in the right direction.
Could the new Battlefield be like parts 3 and 4? The possibility that DICE will take inspiration from these parts is certainly there. After all, Call of Duty has also relied on Black Ops nostalgia with its recent titles. However, expectations should be approached with caution.
Battlefield 3 was released in 2011, and over the past 14 years, the gaming landscape has changed significantly. Especially the monetization of AAA games has undergone a major transformation. Therefore, it is difficult to estimate how the multiplayer and monetization in Battlefield 6 will look.
On July 31, 2025, EA will show new information about the multiplayer of Battlefield 6. For many fans, this is also the crucial aspect of the game. So, you will have to wait a little longer. Although the competitor Black Ops 6 has started well, it is now being criticized by many players: CoD: Black Ops 6 now plays ads when you use an important feature: “Nothing makes me regret quitting this game”
