The announcement was made during a global multiplayer reveal event hosted by Electronic Arts and Battlefield Studios. The company presented updates to core gameplay systems, an overview of the single-player campaign, and enhancements to the Battlefield Portal feature.
Battlefield 6 is set in the year 2027 in a post-conflict world where a powerful private military group called PAX ARMATA rises amid the collapse of global alliances. The single-player campaign explores this fictional geopolitical backdrop.
Gameplay updates include a new “Kinesthetic Combat System” intended to increase player mobility. Tactical mechanics such as “Drag and Revive” and weapon mounting have been added. The class system—Assault, Recon, Support, and Engineer—has also been updated, each with specialized gear and weapons. Enhanced destruction features allow players to alter the combat environment during matches.
The game will ship with multiplayer maps set in locations such as Egypt, Gibraltar, and New York. According to the company, the game modes will include returning options like Conquest, Breakthrough, Rush, and Team Deathmatch, along with a new mode called Escalation.
“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. 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,” said Byron Beede, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Battlefield.
Battlefield Portal, the game’s customizable sandbox mode, returns with a new toolset called Community Experiences. Post-launch support will include additional content such as new modes, maps, and weapons.
“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.
The game’s Open Beta is scheduled to run in two sessions: August 9–10 and August 14–17. Early access will be available starting August 7 through select streaming partners.

Barkley’s selection follows a record-setting 2024 season during which he became the first NFL player to rush for more than 2,500 yards in a single season. His performance contributed to the Eagles’ Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Barkley will also be inducted into the Madden NFL 26 “99 Club,” a designation for players with the highest possible in-game rating.

"Starring on the cover of Madden NFL 26 and being named to the Madden NFL ‘99 Club’ are both dreams come true. I’m grateful to my teammates, coaches, and Eagles fans for their support, and I can’t wait to hit the field again to give Madden players more highlight-reel moments in Madden NFL 26," said Saquon Barkley, running back, Philadelphia Eagles.
"Saquon's reverse hurdle was one of the rare, defining moments in NFL history that would have once been described as ‘something out of a videogame.’ Now, it’s a display of the athleticism and creativity of one of football's most electrifying athletes. Madden NFL 26 will deliver the most real NFL experience we've ever built so that players can experience more of the unreal moments that Saquon put on display all season long. The full reveal is this Wednesday – don’t miss what’s next," said Evan Dexter, Vice President of Franchise Strategy & Marketing, EA SPORTS Madden NFL.
