Marketing

[edit]

On February 3, 2025, Electronic Arts announced an initiative titled Battlefield Labs, a closed-access worldwide playtest for an upcoming installment in the Battlefield series. The reveal confirmed that the game was being developed by DICE, Ripple Effect Studios (formerly DICE LA), Criterion Games and Motive Studios under the collective branding of Battlefield Studios.[1] Before its closure in 2024, Ridgeline Games was also involved in the development, focusing on the single-player campaign.[2] The announcement video featured gameplay from a pre-alpha build of Battlefield 6 and also confirmed the game's modern warfare setting.[3] By March 2025, early gameplay footage from Battlefield Labs had been leaked online by playtesters.[4]

On July 19, 2025, the game's title was leaked early when Electronic Arts sent packages to influencers featuring the Battlefield 6 logo.[5][6] On July 21, Battlefield Studios announced that the upcoming title would have an open beta prior to its official release.[7]

The game was officially revealed as Battlefield 6 on July 22, 2025, when Electronic Arts announced the premiere date for the official reveal trailer, which was released on July 24, 2025.[8][9][10]

On July 23, 2025, an additional teaser was published on the Battlefield social media pages. The teaser indicated that the central conflict, set in 2027, would involve a fractured NATO and a private military company named Pax Armata.[11][12]

On July 31, 2025, an overhauled look at the Portal map creation tools introduced in Battlefield 2042 was showcased, including a new editor powered by the Godot engine.[13].

On August 1, 2025, the multiplayer trailer was released. The trailer showed off gameplay from game modes introducing new gadgets and mechanics, as well as heavily destructive environments and returning features from previous releases, such as being able to collect dog tags from performing takedowns on enemy players - a feature missing from the previous installment.[14]
