Multiplayer Reveal: A Return to Classic Battlefield
DICE has unveiled a multiplayer showcase that brings the franchise back to its roots. Fans were treated to explosive footage featuring massive maps, vehicular combat, and class-based teamplay—all underscored by Limp Bizkit’s high-energy track “Break Stuff.”
Battlefield 6 promises chaotic, strategic, and cinematic combat, blending nostalgia with modern enhancements.
Classic Classes Are Back: More Tactical Than Ever
One of the most welcomed returns is the reintroduction of Battlefield’s four classic classes:
-
Assault: Frontline fighters with flashbangs and adrenaline boosts.
-
Engineer: Vehicle specialists with RPGs and repair tools.
-
Support: Machine gunners who provide ammo and revive teammates.
-
Recon: Long-range snipers with drones, C4, and targeting lasers.
This system promotes team coordination and role specialization, addressing community feedback from previous titles.
Vehicles & Destruction: A Revamped Sandbox Experience
Vehicles have been overhauled to feel more intuitive and balanced. Players can now use a new “hitch-a-ride” mechanic to mount tanks, helicopters, or jets for strategic movement.
Destruction is Bigger Than Ever:
-
Blow open walls and floors with explosives or sledgehammers.
-
Create new entry points or makeshift cover in real time.
-
Shape the battlefield dynamically as the match progresses.
9 Maps at Launch: From Cities to Deserts
Battlefield 6 will feature nine multiplayer maps at launch, spanning various global locales and combat styles:
-
Gibraltar: Tight urban warfare.
-
Tajikistan: Large open terrain for vehicle-focused battles.
-
Brooklyn, NY: A hybrid map with both vertical and horizontal layouts.
-
Operation Firestorm (Remastered): A fan-favorite from Battlefield 3 returns with updated visuals and destruction.
Game Modes: Something for Every Player
Expect the return of Battlefield’s core game modes, including:
-
Conquest
-
Breakthrough
-
Rush
-
Team & Squad Deathmatch
-
Domination
-
King of the Hill
-
Escalation: A new climactic mode where teams fight to a dramatic final showdown.
Portal Mode Returns — Bigger and Better
The fan-favorite Portal Mode from Battlefield 2042 is making a comeback with expanded tools. Now offering deeper mapmaking and scripting features, it feels closer to what you’d expect from Forge in Halo Infinite.
Players can create custom game modes, remix classic maps, and design entirely new experiences, breathing fresh life into the sandbox shooter.
Price & Platforms

Battlefield 6 will be priced at $69.99 — holding steady with EA’s current pricing model and avoiding the $80 premium seen in some AAA titles.

Available on:
-
Xbox Series X|S

Windows PC (Steam, Epic, EA App)

Final Thoughts
After the mixed reception of Battlefield V and the rocky launch of Battlefield 2042, Battlefield 6 feels like a redemption arc. With a polished class system, dynamic destruction, huge maps, and the return of Portal, DICE seems determined to deliver the multiplayer shooter fans have been waiting for.
While caution is understandable (especially after past disappointments), the trailers and beta previews show serious promise. Whether you jump into the beta in August or hold out until October, Battlefield 6 could be the franchise’s best installment in years.
