EA confirmed Battlefield 6 as the upcoming game’s official title, and that the reveal trailer is now less than 48 hours away, set to premiere on July 24 at 10am CT. And if the preview imagery is anything to go by, we may be seeing the destruction of New York City in a few months.

The cover art for the trailer premiere shows several modern era soldiers overlooking what looks like Manhattan as battle ships, helicopters, and jets fly overhead, leaving explosive destruction in their wake. And with Battlefield, destruction is guaranteed.

The new Battlefield game has suffered from several leaks over the past few months, thanks to the Battlefield Labs testing server, where players have been playing and helping to shape the game recently. Several gameplay videos that leaked from Labs spoiled the surprise of the modern setting, massive map destruction with entire buildings being leveled, and more. But this first official look will begin the next few months of marketing for the anticipated FPS title.

And so on Thursday, we’ll finally get to see a taste of what EA and DICE have been cooking up, with more expected in the following week, with a gameplay premiere likely, with reports pointing to a Call of Duty NEXT-like hands-on event with influencers playing the game live.

It’s been over four years since Battlefield 2042 launched, and it has led to several years of mixed reactions from players. With Battlefield 6 back in the modern era of the hugely popular Battlefield 4, this one could be what the franchise needs to get back on track.

Battlefield 6 could be releasing as early as this fall, setting up a potential battle with Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and a war for the time and money of FPS gamers everywhere.
