Battlefield 6 unveils its new multiplayer mode in an official trailer: What's it all about?

During a global live event, Electronic Arts and Battlefield Studios officially unveiled Battlefield 6 , the latest installment in their first-person war action franchise. The game will be available October 10 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam, EA app, and Epic Games Store).

The presentation included the first official multiplayer gameplay trailer, a sneak peek at the single-player mode, and details on the evolution of the Portal system.

Additionally, dates were announced for the open beta, which will take place from August 9-10 and August 14-17, with early access on August 7 via official streams.

Set in the year 2027, Battlefield 6 places players in a world destabilized by a high-profile assassination. The withdrawal of several European countries from NATO leaves a power vacuum that a private military corporation called Pax Armata is attempting to fill. Remaining NATO forces are weakened as the conflict escalates globally.

Among the key innovations, Battlefield 6 introduces a kinetic combat system, which expands the possibilities for movement and weapon use. Mechanics like "Drag and Revive" have been added, as well as the option to mount weapons on surfaces to improve accuracy.

The class system returns with the Assault, Recon, Support, and Engineering roles, each with specialized gadgets, weapons, and training. This structure aims to strengthen squad coordination and adapt tactics to each player's style.

The title will feature a wide range of multiplayer maps set in locations such as Egypt, Gibraltar, and New York . Each scenario is designed to offer distinct combat zones tailored to the different game modes.

Battlefield 6 brings back classic modes like Conquest, Breakthrough, Assault, Team Deathmatch, Domination, and King of the Hill. It also includes a new mode called Escalation, focused on controlling strategic points.

The Battlefield Portal creative tool returns with significant improvements, allowing the community to design their own experiences through an expanded set of features. This component is part of the game's long-term approach, which will include regular updates with new modes, maps, and additional content.

The Battlefield 6 open beta will be the series' largest to date and will be available on all platforms from August 9-10 and 14-17, with early access for those who tune in on August 7.

"We wanted to recapture the essence of Battlefield and bring it into the future," said Byron Beede, senior vice president and general manager of the franchise. The game was developed by a joint team comprising Criterion, DICE, Motive, and Ripple Effect.
