A brand new teaser trailer for Battlefield 6 hints at a global conflict, potentially resulting in World War III. The Battlefield games aren’t exactly known for their campaigns. The franchise has always thrived in its large-scale, sandbox-y multiplayer which has a high player count, tons of vehicles, and major destruction. It’s epic and grand in scale, offering a multiplayer experience unlike other games out there. The campaigns have had their moment, particularly with the Bad Company series, but they’re not exactly the main selling point or as highly advertised as something like a Call of Duty campaign. This led to Battlefield 2042 scrapping the idea entirely, which upset some fans.

Battlefield 6 is expected to have a campaign once again, but we know very little about it. In an interview earlier this year, developers working on the story stated that Alex Garland’s 2024 movie Civil War served as inspiration for Battlefield 6‘s campaign. It’s unclear exactly what that means since we haven’t seen the game, but it led some to think that it would be a politically-charged story set on American soil. However, a brand new teaser for the game seems to suggest that won’t be the case, at least not entirely.
Battlefield 6 Teaser Hints at Tense New Story
A new video for Battlefield 6 was released and it teases a major global conflict involving attacks on NATOs. Key political figures are being assassinated, territories are being invaded around the world, and major countries like France are detaching themselves from NATO. All in all, it looks like tensions are high in that world and it revolves around a new coalition known as Pax Armata which is Latin for “armed peace.” The video came with a motto for the group as well: “Our protection, your peace.” The teaser also ends with a taste of the iconic Battlefield theme song, which sounds close to the one from Battlefield 3 and 4.
It seems like Pax Armata is the enemy in Battlefield 6, as previous rumors claimed they’re not a group of mercenaries or a PMC, they’re a coalition of countries and likely the ones who have left NATO. Battlefield 6 is set to be revealed this week and the game’s key art highlights a war-torn New York City. The artwork depicts jets and warships around the city and Brooklyn Bridge on fire while soldiers look out at the skyline.
It’s unclear if that key art is based on a part of the game’s campaign or if it’s a level from the multiplayer. Either way, we’ll likely find out fairly soon as marketing ramps up for the game and there’s word that a Battlefield 6 beta is on the horizon.
