After years of anticipation and speculation, Electronic Arts and Battlefield Studios have officially lifted the curtain on Battlefield 6, marking the franchise’s return to large-scale modern warfare. The reveal trailer, premiering July 24, 2025, promises a gritty, cinematic experience that blends urban destruction, tactical class-based combat, and a semi-futuristic setting that feels both grounded and explosive.
The teaser opens with four soldiers overlooking a city engulfed in flames, hinting at the return of Battlefield’s classic class system—Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon. A jet screams overhead, bombing a bridge reminiscent of New York’s Brooklyn Bridge, while the skyline crumbles in a cascade of destruction. The visual storytelling suggests a metropolitan warzone, possibly set in a near-future version of a real-world city.
