Battlefield 6 is one of the most anticipated releases this year, especially for those unhappy with the current offering of shooters in the genre. Today's multiplayer trailer did an amazing job showcasing the explosive all-out warfare that awaits.
Wage all-out war with infantry and vehicle combat, class-based squad play, and cutting-edge audiovisual immersion. Where Fighter Jets, Tanks, skydiving RPGS, Heavy Artillery, and high-intensity infantry combat become one. Demolish your surroundings for a strategic advantage with Tactical Destruction. Turn your vehicle into a wrecking ball, bury a squad under a ceiling, or create new paths to victory. Battlefield’s new Kinesthetic Combat System makes you more connected to your soldier and environment than ever before. With overhauled gunplay and tactical movement, from crouch sprint to drag and revive, every shot and movement is more instinctual and precise.
“We knew when we set out to create the future of Battlefield, we had to nail the fundamentals of what players have loved about the series for more than 20 years,” added Byron Beede, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Battlefield. “We’re back in our all-out warfare playground, with four world-class teams developing the game as a single squad known as Battlefield Studios. Criterion, DICE, Motive, and Ripple Effect have put their heart and soul into this next Battlefield and we’re thrilled to have shared our first look with you today and can’t wait to see you playing next weekend during the Open Beta.”
