New Delhi: The Battlefield community has been buzzing for months, and now there’s finally something solid to hold on to. After teasing it as the “next Battlefield” for a while, EA has practically confirmed that the next big entry is titled Battlefield 6. How? Through some mysterious black briefcases sent to influencers and reviewers, each one clearly marked with the title.
This sneaky marketing stunt comes just ahead of what looks like an official reveal. According to Insider Gaming, Battlefield 6 will be officially revealed on July 31st through an event similar to Call of Duty’s ‘COD Next’. And yes, it’s shaping up to be a full-blown launch preview.
Doom49, a content creator, shared a now-deleted post showing a promotional package from EA that featured the title Battlefield 6.
Battlefield 6 name confirmed through briefcase stunt
The most direct confirmation yet came from a leaked post by creator Doom49, who showed off the locked black case sent by EA. It had “Battlefield 6” printed on it, the first time the name has been used openly. Though Doom49 deleted the post soon after, the internet moved fast. Screenshots are already everywhere.
The case also featured three heavy-duty straps labelled with classic Battlefield modes: Conquest, Rush, and Breakthrough. That’s a pretty clear sign these modes are coming back.
Until now, EA had been hush about the title, simply calling it “the next Battlefield.” But this leak changes everything.
EA reveal event locked in for July 31
According to Insider Gaming, EA’s official reveal will happen on July 31 in a showcase-style event. This follows the pattern of how EA rolls out its big shooters, send out the teasers, stir up hype, then drop a full reveal soon after.
These promotional kits are usually the last thing to go out before trailers, dev interviews, and previews flood YouTube. Based on past reveals, expect gameplay footage and some big multiplayer announcements too.
What fans can expect in Battlefield 6
Here’s what’s been confirmed or heavily hinted at:
- Classic Modes Returning: Conquest, Rush, Breakthrough, all fan-favourites.
- Possible Campaign Mode: Not yet confirmed, but strong rumours suggest a full single-player campaign.
- Battle Royale Incoming: A free-to-play battle royale mode is in the works.
- Platforms: It’s next-gen only, available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. No support for PS4 or Xbox One.
- Launch Window: Fiscal year 2025–2026, so anywhere before March 31, 2026.
And for those keeping score, this naming shuffle is just par for the course. Battlefield has never really followed a clear number pattern. After Battlefield 2042, jumping to 6 sounds odd but somehow fits.
What about Battlefield 2042?
Sure, Battlefield 2042 launched rough, with bugs and half-baked features. But DICE has been working hard since then. Apart from weekly events, Servers are still active, and the game feels far more polished now. It didn’t win everyone back, but it held on better than most expected.
With Battlefield 6, EA is clearly trying to reclaim lost ground and rebuild some of that classic Battlefield excitement. Whether it works or not, we’ll find out soon enough.
