Battlefield 6's Game-Changing Multiplayer and More Revealed During Blockbuster Global Event
Battlefield 6 Launches October 10 with Jaw-Dropping Multiplayer Maps and Modes, Exhilarating Single Player Campaign, the Evolution of Portal, and Much More. Battlefield's Biggest Ever Open Beta Begins In August LOS ANGELES, July 31, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, during a live global multiplayer reveal event, Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) and Battlefield Studios unveiled Battlefield 6™, the ultimate all-out warfare experience. Launching on October 10, Battlefield 6 is available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (Steam™, EA App, Epic Games Store). During the blockbuster event, Battlefield Studios provided a first look at new and returning multiplayer modes, a tantalizing sneak peek of the global scale blockbuster Single Player campaign and of course the evolution of Battlefield Portal. BATTLEFIELD 6 OFFICIAL MULTIPLAYER GAMEPLAY TRAILER The year is 2027. The world is on the edge of chaos. After a high-profile assassination shocks the world, major European countries have left NATO, while the US and its allies grapple with the fallout. A massive private military corporation unafraid to cross lines, with deep pockets and the latest tech, looks to fill the power vacuum. This army is PAX ARMATA. What's left of NATO is in tatters, wounded and battered. This is the world of Battlefield 6. Battlefield 6 introduces a host of new features, including the all-new Kinesthetic Combat System, which brings enhancements to movement and gunplay. This gives players an unprecedented level of mobility, offering new tactical options such as Drag and Revive to pull teammates out of danger and back from the brink, and mounting weapons on walls to reduce recoil. The iconic class system returns better than ever, with Assault, Recon, Support, and Engineer, empowering players to define their role on the battlefield. The four roles have been enhanced, designed to empower players to push their team towards victory, each with class-specific gadgets, signature weapons and dedicated training. Destruction also returns, but enhanced to offer an unparalleled level of freedom, letting players transform the combat zone, to create new paths, flank enemies and dominate the battle. Battlefield 6 will launch with a robust package of multiplayer modes and maps, taking the fight around the world from Egypt, to Gibraltar and the streets of New York. Each map features multiple combat zones, hand-crafted and tailored to suit specific modes, ensuring each fight is designed to compliment the player experience and provide a variety of play options. Fan favorite multiplayer modes return in Battlefield 6, with classic staples making an appearance, including Conquest, Breakthrough, and Rush. Players will also experience a host of fast-paced and intense first-person shooter staples, including Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, Domination and King of the Hill. While a brand new mode called Escalation sees two teams fight to capture strategic control points. "We knew when we set out to create the future of Battlefield, we had to nail the fundamentals of what players have loved about the series for more than 20 years," said Byron Beede, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Battlefield. "We're back in our all-out warfare playground, with four world-class teams developing the game as a single squad known as Battlefield Studios. Criterion, DICE, Motive, and Ripple Effect have put their heart and soul into this next Battlefield and we're thrilled to have shared our first look with you today and can't wait to see you playing next weekend during the Open Beta." Battlefield 6 also launches with an all-new and improved iteration of Portal – the creative toolset that lets you redraw the lines of war. Portal is more powerful and streamlined than ever before, giving players brand new tools to create completely unique content called Community Experiences. Ambitious post-launch support will continue to add more modes, maps, weapons, and other features to the game on a consistent basis. "I've worked on a lot of titles over the years and can confidently say that Battlefield 6 is something special," said Vince Zampella, Executive Vice President. "We can't wait to show more of Battlefield 6's intense tactical combat and epic warfare in the months to come, leading up to its release on October 10."

Lewis Hamilton opens up about 'complicated' love life
Formula F1 driver, Lewis Hamilton, is opening up about his "complicated" love life. Hamilton is one of the few bachelors in F1, and over the years, he has been romantically linked to several women in music and entertainment but has not confirmed any of those romances. In an interview with French publication RTBF, the Ferrari driver has since shifted gears when it comes to romance. 'Yes, it's very complicated, especially in today's world," Hamilton explains. 'I see other drivers and I wonder how they manage it. Some have children, are married, have girlfriends. The seven-time Formula One champion has been romantically linked to Nicole Scherzinger, Rihanna, Sofia Richie-Grainge, and more. 'I went through that when I was in my twenties. I've made a different choice: I've decided to maximise the time I have here because it's shorter than you think," he continued.'I don't want to have any regrets, or think that I could have given more.' As of now, Hamilton wants to focus on making the most of his career, and he is doing just that. He made history in 2007 as the first and is currently the only Black driver in F1, and is working to promote diversity in the sport. He also holds the record for the most Grand Prix wins with 105. Hamilton shared with the publication that when he decides to retire, he will most likely have more time to focus on other aspects of his life. 'Over the last ten years, I've concentrated on my performance. And when I retire, I'll be able to do what I want," he said. 'I'll be able to devote myself to other things without constraints." Hamilton continued: "As long as I'm competing, I'm concentrating on my health, my well-being, my mental health, and my driving technique." 'I want to be the best engineer I can be and the best teammate too," he concluded. "That's my main objective: I want to win.' Who has Lewis Hamilton been romantically linked to? Hamilton's longest public relationship was with singer and actress Nicole Scherzinger from 2007-2015. Since then, he's been romantically linked to Gigi Hadid, Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, and Rita Ora, but those relationships were never confirmed by either party. Between 2016 and 2017, Hamilton was seen on various occasions with supermodel Winnie Harlow, but they never confirmed their romance either. He's also been linked to Nicki Minaj, Sofia Richie-Grainge, and Shakira, but just like the others, a relationship was never confirmed by Hamilton or the ladies. This year, romance rumors began to swirl between him and Grammy-nominated singer RAYE after the singer posted a photo of them embracing in an Instagram photo dump. It is solidified if they have a romance. Lewis Hamilton wants to win the title with Ferrari While Hamilton's love life is seemingly on pause until further notice, the race car driver is focusing on fulfilling his dream with Ferrari. 'My dream is to win a title with Ferrari. It's been a long time since that happened," Hamilton says, as the last time Ferrari won the Formula 1 World Championship was back in 2007 with Kimi Räikkönen. 'Ferrari has all the ingredients to win, you just have to put it all together," he added. "That's what I'm trying to do behind the scenes with Fred Vasseur and the team.'
