The Battlefield franchise is finally returning, and its first trailer is only a couple of days away. Following months of teasers, closed testing sessions, and leaks, an announcement went out today via official channels that confirmed the highly anticipated game"s name will be Battlefield 6 and that the reveal is happening this Thursday, July 24.
This is set to be the 13th game in the franchise, arriving four years after the launch of Battlefield 2042.
"BATTLEFIELD 6. July 24. Reveal Trailer," said the simple announcement today across Battlefield social media. Attached to it was a simple 2D-animated teaser with four modern-age soldiers (hinting at the return of the class system from the get-go) looking over a massive city going through a battle, with a couple of jets dogfighting across the sky. The YouTube teaser"s description reads, "Prepare for the ultimate all-out warfare experience in Battlefield 6."
As mentioned before, the game is set to return to the Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon class system from the start, unlike what happened with Battlefield 2046, while all weapons will be freely usable by any class. However, using the designated weapon type for their class (sniper rifles with Recon, for example) will offer some additional gameplay bonuses.
Recent leaks from playtests have revealed that destruction has been massively improved for this entry, while immersive features like dragging teammates away from battle for revives, combat dives, crouch sprint, landing rolls, and other abilities are being implemented too. There are also reports of being able to grab onto moving vehicles while on foot.
Battlefield 6 is in development across a wide range of EA development teams, including DICE, Motive Studio, Criterion Games, and Ripple Effect, with Vince Zampella from Respawn Entertainment overseeing the project.
While EA has yet to give Battlefield 6 a release date, the company confirmed to investors earlier this year that it plans to launch the massive game during its 2026 fiscal year. This is the 12-month time frame between April 1, 2025, and March 31, 2026. Going by previous Battlefield releases, an October or November 2025 release date for Battlefield 6 is likely, targeting PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
