Battlefield 6 Revealed – When and Where to Watch the First Trailer
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors Few series have a more confusing list of titles than Battlefield, with regular numbered entries in the military shooter series being constantly mixed in between entries with subtitles and others with dates in the title. Then you remember that Battlefield 1 came out between 4 and 5, and everything falls apart. So, after everyone held their breath to see what strange decision the team would make for the next game, we can all breathe a sigh of relief, and it's gone with the simple option: Battlefield 6.

Electronic Arts It's been a while since the last full entry in the series – that being Battlefield 2042 in 2021 (we told you it was confusing) – and fans have been clamouring for more, as its large-scale military battles offer a great alternative to Call of Duty's more enclosed maps. So it's time for fans to rejoice as publisher EA confirmed today that the game is coming, targeting a March 2026 release date, and with a trailer coming very soon. Where to Watch the Battlefield 6 Trailer EA has set up a YouTube premiere for the trailer that is set to air on Thursday, July 24, 2025, and will go live on the official Battlefield YouTube channel at 7:57am PT/10:57am ET/3:57pm BST. We've embedded a handy link to the video below, so you can watch it right here: While the official release won't be until at least March, EA has confirmed that an open beta will be taking place before then, likely sometime in the Winter. We'll keep you posted on when it becomes available and how you can get access.

Battlefield 6 release date and open beta details leak ahead of reveal trailer
EA has announced a trailer for Battlefield 6 will drop later this week, but dataminers have already unearthed several key details. After a streamer leaked the game's title earlier this week, EA has confirmed Battlefield 6 will be officially revealed on Thursday, July 24. The upcoming shooter, which has been subject to various gameplay leaks via player tests, will receive a trailer on July 24 at 3.57pm BST. At the time of writing, just over 2,000 people are in the waiting room on YouTube. In its brief announcement video for the reveal, EA also shared the game's key art which features a New York backdrop. Following this announcement, dataminers have been crawling through the EA app to find further details, and one leaker may have stumbled on the release date. According to dataminer 1BF, the 'current' release date for Battlefield 6 is October 10, 2025. However, they warn this date 'can still be postponed' and it might not be the '100% truth' as it was discovered in a place 'where we should not have seen it'. If true, the date does line-up with the release strategy of recent Battlefield titles. The past two entries, Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 5 both came out in November in 2021 and 2018 respectively, while 2016's Battlefield 1 was released on October 21.

The October 10 date also puts it ahead of the blast radius of its direct competitor Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7, which is rumoured to come out on November 14, 2025 according to leaker TheGhostOfHope. The same dataminer claims Battlefield 6 will have a 'Phantom Edition'. It's unclear what this will include but it's likely to involve being able to play the game a number of days early. Pre-orders will also apparently open on July 31, which is the same date as another reported reveal event for the shooter. According to a previous report on Insider Gaming, content creators have been sent a Battlefield 6 care package which they can open from July 24, the same date as the aforementioned reveal trailer. This package will apparently announce another reveal date for Thursday, July 31, when gameplay and developer interviews will be released, after a two-day media hands-on event starting from July 29. It's a confusing rollout but we imagine the release date could be revealed somewhere around this window or, if not, we'll probably get details of the open beta at least. Earlier this week, in weirdly casual fashion, EA announced Battlefield 6 will get an open beta, confirming it will have options to play matches where any weapon can be used with any class – or the opposite for purists. A post on the official Battlefield account on X reads: '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.' Open Weapons vs Closed WeaponsWhy not both?Starting at Open Beta players can choose official playlists with Signature Weapons locked to class, or to come. — Battlefield (@Battlefield) July 21, 2025 While EA hasn't shared any details yet on when this open beta will start, dataminers in the EA app have found a 'build publication date' scheduled for August 4, 2025. While not technically a release date according to one Reddit user, it's a sign the open beta could follow soon afterwards. More Trending There's a lot riding on Battlefield 6, after its predecessor Battlefield 2042 was a financial flop for EA. The sequel is being co-developed under a new 'Battlefield Studios' umbrella consisting of four studios, namely DICE, the main developer of previous games in the series, Criterion, Motive, and Ripple Effect. The latter is rumoured to be working on a battle royale spin-off akin to Call Of Duty: Warzone. While it's likely we'll get a specific release date later this month, EA previously confirmed Battlefield 6 will launch sometime before March 2026.

Here are some ways to navigate this high-stakes gauntlet. What is Stygian Onslaught? Stygian Onslaught is a multi-battle arena mode split into three 'Battlefields', each featuring a different boss with intricate mechanics and harsh elemental restrictions.
