Battlefield 6 has been officially revealed, and it’s bringing the series back to the present after its foray into the future with Battlefield 2042. At launch, there will be nine maps, set in New York, Egypt, the Iberian Peninsula, and other locations.
All of the featured maps will include multiple combat zones, which EA describes as “hand-crafted and tailored to suit specific modes.” That means each map is designed to support different gameplay options.
Conquest, Breakthrough, and Rush modes are all returning in Battlefield 6, along with Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, Domination, and King of the Hill. There’s also a brand-new mode called Escalation, which pits two teams against each other as they attempt to capture and control a dwindling number of strategic points on the map
Battlefield 6 preorders are already live, with some specific retailer bonuses. The game’s open beta will begin on August 7 and continue during different intervals in the month. Battlefield 6 will officially launch on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC on October 10.
An early look at the nine launch maps is included below.
