The recent Battlefield 6 reveal trailer teased one notable feature that could be game-changing for the franchise: dense city combat. EA released the reveal trailer for Battlefield 6 on July 24, giving Battlefield fans a first glimpse into the game's single-player campaign and its modern-day setting.
After months of anticipation and rumors, the Battlefield 6 reveal trailer gave fans an early look into the intense infantry combat and aerial dogfights that can be expected from the long-awaited first-person shooter. From the official details that EA has revealed thus far, the story's campaign focuses on NATO's conflicts against a rogue group known as Pax Armata, the game's main antagonistic force. Pax Armata has carried out attacks across key locations around the world, including New York City as shown in the reveal trailer. With gunfights bound to take place along narrow alleyways and tight building corridors, Battlefield 6 appears to hone in on dense city combat and destruction elements, just like some of the most beloved entries in the Battlefield series.
Battlefield 6 May Have Already Lost the War for 100 Million Players
EA has high hopes for Battlefield 6 to hit 100 million players, but one confirmed detail may have already squashed those goals.
The Battlefield 6 reveal trailer heavily spotlighted city combat as infantry and vehicles engaged in conflict across various cities, with New York City being a clear highlight for Battlefield's signature destruction elements. The return of dense city combat could be a game-changer for the Battlefield franchise going forward, as it appears that the developers are focusing on the gameplay features that fans know and love from the most revered Battlefield games, such as Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. The game's more grounded and realistic approach appears to be winning fans over in the YouTube comments section of the trailer, as the Battlefield 6 trailer has more likes than Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's reveal.
Battlefield 6 Reveal Trailer Shows Return of Dense City Combat and Heavy Destruction Elements
Since dense city combat and destruction appear to be focal points of gameplay in Battlefield 6, players can expect more urban maps alongside one based in New York City. The reveal trailer also showed that Battlefield 6's Pax Armada carried out attacks in Gibraltar, Georgia, and Belgium, which means maps will likely be set in those locations as well.
Battlefield fans can expect more details during the Battlefield 6 multiplayer reveal event, which is planned for July 31 at 11:30 a.m. PT / 2:30 p.m. ET on EA's social media channels. In addition, it appears that EA is planning to host a Battlefield 6 open beta to let players test out some of the game's official playlists, with options to play with Signature Weapons locked to class or not.
