After years of waiting, EA is finally ready to officially, fully reveal its next Battlefield game. The official title seems to be Battlefield 6, and we’re getting a first trailer this week on July 24 at 8am PT.
This comes from a YouTube listing that popped up on the official Battlefield channel for a scheduled stream at that day and time. The listing itself is devoid of further details, though it does include some official artwork showing four soldiers overlooking a battle in a metropolitan area, complete with ships, helicopters, planes, and more.
It’s been a long wait for Battlefield 6. It was first announced way, way back in 2021, sort of, mostly just as EA confirming it was still working on more Battlefield games after Battlefield 2042. Since then, we’ve seen an early piece of concept art and had it confirmed that the game would take place in a modern setting.
While the game is currently expected for release sometime during the current fiscal year, before March 2026, EA CEO Andrew Wilson has implied he’s willing to consider moving it depending on the release windows of competitor games such as GTA 6.
In recent months, footage of Battlefield 6 from various closed playtests has started leaking online, showing the game’s modern setting, various firefights, destructible environments, quality of life improvements, and the start of a battle royale match.
EA has had a rough year, laying off workers in multiple waves, forcing an unpopular return to office mandate, and shutting down both planned upcoming games such as Cliffhanger’s Black Panther and existing games, such as Anthem.
