EA Drops Battlefield 6 Trailer With Signature Destruction Mechanics
— Battlefield 6 brings back large-scale destruction, class-based combat, and a modern war setting with a new single-player campaign.
Electronic Arts (EA) has officially released the much-anticipated Battlefield 6 trailer, heralding the return of the franchise’s signature large-scale battles and destruction mechanics. The trailer kicks off with a fictional U.S. presidential address, introducing the game's main antagonist—a powerful private military group named Pax Armata, backed by former NATO states and bent on global disruption.
While the trailer is largely cinematic, it prominently showcases classic Battlefield-style destruction: collapsing buildings, exploding bridges, aerial dogfights, and tanks tearing through city streets. These glimpses highlight the series' signature chaos and environmental devastation.
Battlefield 6 marks a return to a modern warfare setting, ditching historical and futuristic narratives. Fans will see the revival of core player classes—Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon—with modern perks and customizable loadouts. Importantly, a single-player campaign is confirmed, following its absence in Battlefield 2042.
The game is being developed by the newly unified Battlefield Studios, which includes DICE, Criterion, EA Motive, and Ripple Effect. A multiplayer gameplay reveal is set for July 31, where more in-depth features and mechanics will be showcased.
Though EA hasn’t officially confirmed the launch date, leaks suggest a release around October 10 or 11, 2025, with Standard and Phantom editions priced between €69–€110. An open beta is also expected in August 2025.
