Battlefield 6 trailer is here: A look at theme, release date, and more
The events in the game take place between 2027 and 2030, and reportedly the missions seem to be in locations resembling the Great Siege Tunnels of Gibraltar. The trailer also shows New York under intense attack. The narrative centres around a battle between NATO and a private military organisation.
According to the trailer, the military organisation named 'Pax Armata' attacks countries like Gibraltar, Belgium, and Georgia and the world at large.
The footage that has been made public thus far also raises the possibility that allies like France are switching to Pax Armata, which seeks to undermine NATO's influence.
According to renowned tipster Billbil-kun of Dealabs, Battlefield 6 will be released on October 10, 2025. It will be available in both a basic edition ($79.99) and a premium Phantom edition ($109.99).
Game developer DICE, reportedly, conducted extensive testing on Battlefield 6. But reports suggest that only a limited number of players were allowed to participate in the covert playtest, which required them to sign non-disclosure agreements. However, a number of players broke their pledges of confidentiality and started sharing gameplay videos on YouTube.
Additionally, EA has confirmed that an open beta, which extends the playtest to all players, will be arriving soon.
Open Weapons vs Closed Weapons
Why not both?
Starting at Open Beta players can choose official playlists with Signature Weapons locked to class, or not.
More to come.

DICE did not share the playtest's start date, but the EA app has revealed the date.
Reportedly the EA app on PC contained mentions of the BF6 beta alongside a publication date set for August 4, 2025. If true, the open beta will likely be announced during the multiplayer reveal event.
Battlefield 6 will be skipping old-gen machines and releasing solely on current-gen consoles. Here are all the platforms Battlefield 6 will be available on: Xbox Series X/S, PC, and PS5. However, the PC version is said to be $10 less expensive.
Pre-orders are expected to go live on July 31 without early access on any edition. Standard edition owners can upgrade to the Phantom version at any time for $29.99.

What lies ahead of Battlefield 6 if it sticks to modern-gen consoles only?
Image via Electronic Arts. Finally, the long wait is over as EA has recently revealed Battlefield 6 with a trailer. However, it was not a big surprise to the fans as the company has been very poor in keeping the development of this game a secret. Also the introduction of Battlefield Labs in early 2025 sealed the title's existence way before its actual release. The upcoming title is going to be a turning point for Battlefield. After the disastrous performance of Battlefield 2042, EA is leaving no stones unturned to change the fate of this long-standing franchise. However, has EA made a mistake by leaving the last-gen consoles behind? Skipping last-gen consoles might backfire Battlefield 6 Battlefield 6 will probably be available only on modern-gen consoles. | Image via Electronic Arts. The recently launched reveal trailer of Battlefield 6 unfolded many mysteries, which will be disclosed in detail when the game gets released. Looking at the trailer, any one can adjudge that the upcoming title is going to be the most graphically fidelious installment of the series, with the glimpse of bright daylight urban warfare against nighttime destructions, a collapsed dam, burning city streets, and much more to add on. Now despite revealing so much, EA hasn't yet put the confirmation stamp on the potential platforms of the game. However, insiders and leakers have claimed that Battlefield 6 is going to launch only on modern-gen consoles, that means on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo These claims also get some huge base as EA's Battlefield Lab testing was limited to current-gen hardware only. Also, the official reveal and wishlist page only show listings exclusively for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. With all of these, we can come to a conclusion that Battlefield 6 is likely to miss out on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. And this decision is going to hit the upcoming title hard. First up, Battlefield's long-standing dream of Call of Duty would have been completed, keeping in mind the promises BF6 is shown. But CoD never left older-gen consoles like PS4 and Xbox One behind, even for the most recent titles like Black Ops 6 and Modern Warfare 3. And none of these titles have ever compromised on visual qualities as well. Secondly, last-gen consoles still hold a substantial amount of playerbase, which would have boosted Battlefield 6's opening sales to a huge level. But the upcoming title is going to miss out on that as it will probably rely on modern gen consoles only. Yeah it's true that it would have been really tough for the developers to stick in so much graphical brilliance in older-gen consoles having inferior specifications. The majority of the gaming development companies have already followed this path as well. But for Battlefield 6, it is going to be its first, as even Battlefield 2042 was available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Now it seems EA's proposed goal of having 100 million Battlefield 6 players is far from reach, if the company sticks to modern-gen consoles only.
