changedThe year is 2027. Critical nations have pulled out of NATO, leaving world security weakened. In its wake, opportunistic entities have deployed Pax Armata, a powerful private military organization with deep pockets and the latest tech. You'll enter the war playing as one of these two factions: NATO and Pax Armata.
changedChoose your class within the squad: Assault, Engineer, Recon, and Support. Battlefield 6’s customization system allows you to choose any weapon for any situation but each class shines when you take advantage of signature weapon sets that lean into your class role.
addedBattlefield 6 has more ways to play than ever before. Combat Zones are hand-crafted configurations within the maps that maximize quality under a variety of modes, so that each playspace fits the mode you’ve selected when it comes to scale, intensity, and tactical options. From the fast-paced, close-quarters Squad Deathmatch and Domination to the brand-new mettle-testing Escalation, these modes have been designed to be elevated by Battlefield’s fundamental design pillars: classes, squad-based gameplay, and a hell of a lot of destruction.
changedGet a taste of the action during the Battlefield 6 Open Beta, live August 9-10 and 14-17. Pre-load now and don't miss a moment of our biggest Open Beta ever.
