EA’s big military franchise is back with Battlefield 6, showing a Limp Bizkit-accompanied multiplayer trailer at a reveal event, alongside a 10 October release date.
Set in 2027, Battlefield 6 marks a return of a single-player campaign mode alongside a customisable multiplayer experience. Dubbed “Battlefield Portal”, you can customise game modes with different rules via a platform based on the open-source game engine, Godot.
Changing the in-game movement was one of the focus areas for Battlefield 6‘s developers. You can now drag wounded teammates out of the fray to revive them, or mount weapons on walls to steady your aim.
The game’s developers say that Battlefield 6‘s four classes — Assault, Recon, Support, and Engineer — have been improved as part of the overall gameplay refresh. Multiplayer also gets a new mode called “Escalation”, which sees two teams “fight to capture strategic control points”.
Unlike the competing Call of Duty franchise, Battlefield doesn’t have an annual release cycle. Battlefield 6 is the series’ first new entry since the futuristic Battlefield 2042 in 2021, which followed 2018’s Battlefield V.
Development cycles aren’t the only big difference between the two sets of games; where Call of Duty mainly focuses on compact battles between small teams, Battlefield concerns itself with the entire theatre of war — big squads do battle with tanks, helicopters and other armaments in a more team strategy-centric setting.
Ahead of Battlefield 6‘s 10 October release date, EA has two open betas planned: one between 9 and 11 August, with a follow-up open beta between 14 and 18 August. The game is set to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC.
