Battlefield 6 trailer debuts: Private militias, urban warfare and a global conflict ahead
The newly released two-minute trailer offers a cinematic look at the game's single-player campaign and introduces a new antagonist force, Pax Armata, a powerful private military corporation backed by former NATO nations. With its aggressive global agenda, Pax Armata sets the stage for a new conflict that will play out across both solo and multiplayer modes.
Set against the backdrop of a world teetering on the brink of war, the trailer showcases sweeping shots of urban warfare, including the dramatic destruction of landmarks such as the Brooklyn Bridge. EA confirmed that the game will return to its roots with the reintroduction of a single-player campaign, which was absent in Battlefield 2042.
'In Battlefield 6, the franchise's signature combination of intense combat, expansive warfare, and player-driven freedom is back,' the publisher noted in a press release. 'Whether you're toppling buildings to gain a tactical edge or soaring through dogfights in the skies, the battlefield is yours to dominate. But remember, your most powerful weapon is your squad.'
As expected, large-scale warfare remains central to the experience. Players can expect vast maps filled with tanks, jets, helicopters, and destructible environments, all of which have become hallmarks of the series. Notably, EA has promised the return of fan-favourite features such as 64-player matches and the traditional class system.
While the reveal trailer gave fans a taste of the campaign's setting, it included no direct gameplay footage. The full reveal of Battlefield 6's multiplayer mode will take place during a live showcase event on 31 July. The presentation will be hosted by developers from Battlefield Studios, a coalition of four in-house teams, DICE, Criterion, Motive, and Ripple Effect.
'This is the biggest moment in Battlefield history,' EA said. 'Expect a deep dive into the game's most ambitious multiplayer experience yet, including all-new maps, returning fan-favourite modes, and exciting gameplay innovations.'
Following the multiplayer reveal, content creators will stream live gameplay, giving the community its first hands-on look at the new title. A follow-up developer discussion is also planned for 2 August. Both events will be streamed on YouTube and Twitch.
Battlefield 6 is set to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC during EA's fiscal year 2026, which runs through March 2026. Although an official release date has not been confirmed, industry leaks suggest an October launch. Players can now add the game to their wishlists via PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.

Is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 really coming to PlayStation 5?
Image via Asobo Studio. In the world of console-wars, PlayStation and Xbox are the two names that have held their grounds firm since their launches. This is one of the very few 'Messi-Ronaldo' like debates that divides the world into two parts. Be it superior hardwares, or better value-for-money subscription models, both consoles always get an edge over each other. However, the major distinctive factor has to be 'console exclusivity.' But that thin line is diminishing slowly, and another Xbox-exclusive title might influence this process later this year. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is rumored to arrive on PlayStation 5 It was 2024 when the term 'console-exclusivity' slowly started to perish as major Xbox-exclusive titles like Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, and many others made their way on to PlayStation 5. Similar efforts were put by Sony as well when popular PlayStation-exclusive titles like Helldivers 2 , Indiana Jones and the Great Circle were released on Xbox. Now, it seems another hugely popular Xbox-first party title, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, might land in the arch rival camp. With the major first-party titles getting released on rival platforms becoming a trend recently, the arrival of MFS2024 on PS5 was quite evident, and rumors were already spreading around the internet. Now, a recent claim by credible leaker NateTheHate solidifies those rumors to a greater extent. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Struggling With Belly Fat? Try This at Home Home Fitness Hack Shop Now Undo Recently, a fan on Twitter asked NateTheHate about the potential release of MFS2024 on PlayStation 5. The leaker replied back with the confirmation about the query. Not only that, he also gave a probable release window of 2025. According to him, PlayStation fans might see MFS2024 surfacing on their platform around the completion of one year of its actual release, which is on November 19, 2024. If Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 really lands on PlayStation 5, that would really open the floodgate from both sides as MFS2024 is surely one of the biggest first-party Xbox titles. This will also mark a significant turning point in the gaming industry where console companies would stop restricting their first-party titles to their platforms, and the publishing companies will look to boost their sales from different platforms. And it makes a lot of sense as well. Read More: Is GTA 6 coming to Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch?
