Electronic Arts (EA) and Battlefield Studios officially launched the cinematic reveal trailer for Battlefield 6 today, signaling a major milestone for the franchise. This highly anticipated entry marks a return to large-scale modern warfare and sets expectations high for fans worldwide.
Battlefield 6 First Look: The Reveal Trailer
The trailer opens with a presidential address in the White House briefing room, quickly escalating into a global conflict sparked by Pax Armata, a Private Military Corporation funded by former NATO states (source: official EA press release). With devastating scenes set in Manhattan—including a damaged Brooklyn Bridge—the cinematic showcase delivers classic Battlefield features: squad-based gameplay, destructible environments, tanks, jets, and epic combat scale.
A roster of four faceless soldiers, representing core classes (assault, engineer, medic, support), signals a shift back to generic class identity over named operators — reminiscent of earlier titles like Battlefield: Bad Company.
Battlefield 6 represents a strategic reboot in the wake of the underwhelming performance of Battlefield 2042. Development is led by Battlefield Studios, a co-development alliance including DICE, Criterion Games, EA Motive, and Ripple Effect.
EA aims to reestablish the series’ identity via a return to the franchise’s signature class system, destructible environments, and squad-based play. They have also set ambitious plans to reach 100 million players, potentially positioning the game alongside live-service titles like Call of Duty: Warzone via a free battle royale mode.
Multiplayer Reveal & Open Beta Details
EA confirmed that the multiplayer reveal event will take place on July 31 at 11:30 AM PDT / 2:30 PM EDT, during which gameplay, maps, and mode overviews will be showcased live across YouTube and Twitch. Fans and media will also stream post-event gameplay coverage from global hubs including Los Angeles, London, and Hong Kong.
An Open Beta is also on the horizon, with EA confirming players will be able to test modes offering both class-locked signature weapons and open-weapon options, aligning with community feedback from Battlefield Labs playtests.
Battlefield 6 Release Date Rumors
While EA hasn’t confirmed an official release date, multiple reliable leaks point to a fall 2025 launch, likely on October 10 or 11 across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Dealabs’ sources and a briefly published EA legal disclaimer reference promotional offers expiring around October 10, reinforcing speculation of that timeframe.

Leaked pricing details suggest the standard edition will launch near €79.99 (~$80), while a “Phantom Edition” digital-only deluxe version may cost up to €100–109.99 (~$100–110). The PC version is expected to be about $10 cheaper than console variants.
According to emerging reports, pre-orders could open on July 31—the same day as the multiplayer reveal—with no early access privileges offered for deluxe editions or standard editions alike.
The unveiling marks a decisive attempt to regain community trust and revitalize the Battlefield brand. With gameplay feedback integrated through Battlefield Labs, the approaching multiplayer demos, and the rebuild of core pillars of the franchise, EA and DICE are signaling a bold new chapter for the series
