When Medal of Honor turned Call of Duty creator Vince Zampella took the stage at the Battlefield 6 multiplayer reveal event in sunny Los Angeles, 25 years removed from his first FPS credit, you got the sense he was just a little bit excited about his next endeavour in the genre. “Battlefield f***ing 6!” the now leader of the EA franchise yelled.

The release date was also confirmed for October 10, and that says quite a lot about EA’s faith in the latest entry in the Battlefield franchise. With Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 launching in November, Battlefield 6 is shaping up to be quite the title if the team is confident enough to go nearly head-to-head with CoD.

Battlefield 6’s trailer just lifted the lid on DICE’s next shooter, and there are a lot of good things to expect from its multiplayer mode.
