Battlefield 6 is the name of the next game, but EA won’t say more until tomorrow

The game most of us have been calling Battlefield 6 for months now is, indeed, officially titled that. EA ended speculation about the official name of the next game in the multiplayer shooter series overnight.

Unfortunately, this is not the sort of major reveal you may have been expecting, but it does bring a couple of interesting details to chew on.

Battlefield’s official social channels were abuzz with what’s basically a short animated background confirming the Battlefield 6 title, and announcing a date for the game’s reveal trailer. Battlefield 6 will be revealed on Thursday, July 24.

The YouTube trailer page will be going live at 8am PT, 11am ET, 4pm UK. The video’s thumbnail shows what could be the game’s cover art, depicting the Brooklyn Bridge and what looks to be an under siege New York.

You can hear a rendition of the Battlefield theme in the background, and the arrangement is more reminiscent of Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4, which makes sense given Battlefield 6’s whole back-to-basics aesthetic.

The game does not have a release date, but players are hoping that tomorrow’s reveal will announce that, and reveal a date for the recently-confirmed open beta of the game. The beta is rumoured to take place in the first week of August, so we’re not so far off.
