Watch the Battlefield 6 reveal trailer here for our first look at the game, and maybe a date for the open beta

Battlefield 6 is real, but you probably already knew that. As one of the most-anticipated releases of – presumably – 2025, it’s taken EA and DICE quite a bit of time to first give the game its proper title, and officially reveal it to the world.

We’re now just moments away from having our first look at the next evolution of Battlefield.

The reveal trailer for Battlefield 6 premiers today at 8am PT, 11am ET, 4pm UK on YouTube. It’s been about two days since the YouTube premiere link went live, and thousands have been idling in chat since, waiting for it to go live.

This is a big moment for a game that’s positioned to be a return to form for the series, even if some of the publicised design decisions have caused quite the stir amongst longtime fans, many of whom have been looking forward to a simple revival of Battlefield 3 or Battlefield 4, just modernised for the current generation.

Although Battlefield Labs leaks have mostly been positive, DICE never really got the chance to show the game off (and talk about it) on its own terms. Today’s trailer may just end up being a simple in-engine affair – DICE loves those, after all – but it’s still one many of us have been looking forward to.

More the the trailer itself, this also represents the beginning of a reveal campaign that rumours suggest will kick off in earnest next week with a big, Call of Duty: Next-style event. The beta is said to be taking place early in August, too, so it’s all really about to kick off for the game – and we’re going to be here for it.
