EA recently published details of the initial Battlefield 6 maps and modes that will be included, plus challenges that players will be able to complete to unlock rewards, when the full game is released on October 10.
VGC wrote in our Battlefield 6 hands-on preview: “Most importantly, gunplay is satisfying, and the destruction is dynamic. Those two boxes being ticked will likely be enough for most Battlefield players, but so far, Battlefield 6 feels like much more than simply ticking boxes.
“It’s the Battlefield game that fans of the franchise in its prime would expect from a 2025 entry, and we’re excited to try more of it.”
