Battlefield 6 is an explosive new first-person shooter from Battlefield Studios, who is promising to deliver the ultimate all-out warfare experience. Unlike its predecessor, Battlefield 6 will come equipped with a single-player campaign and a returning focus on squad-centric chaos.
"The Battlefield franchise has endured a challenging few years, following the rejection of Battlefield 2042 by the wider FPS community. In a sense, Battlefield 6 is going back to basics in response. This new game for 2025 is returning to a more conventional modern warfare setting, with Battlefield Studios (which includes DICE, Motive, Criterion, and Ripple Effect) pushing for key refinements to its squad-based action, destruction, and the scale of this all-out warfare."
