Following the negative reception toBattlefield 2042,Battlefield 6is tasked with restoring faith in the series that has been eroding in recent years. Private playtests and plenty of leaks have made fans generally optimistic on the gameplay front, and EA seems to finally be locking in the excitement thanks to itsmultiplayer reveal event.
A popular Reddit post fromMyCrustySockdeclares,“That’s it. I’m gonna say it. WE ARE SO BACK!!!”, a sentiment that many commenters seem to agree with.

Battlefield’s fanbase is still filled with plenty of skeptics, and the top comment on the post is no exception.BigWillBargues that “we need to wait until this out” before offering a verdict, and several comments echo this opinion byholding the line against preorders.
The overall mood, however, seems much higher than it’s been inBattlefieldspaces for years.Thedinobot1989pushes back against a comparison to 2042’s pre-release hype by saying “2042 didn’t look anything like this,” and most concerns seem to focus on the potential for a buggy, unfinished release.Opinions on the core gameplay are largely positive, and fans also seem reassured by the energy and confidence that the multiplayer reveal event showcased.
The Battlefield 6 Hype Seems Justified
Things Are Looking Good So Far
There’s still plenty of room forBattlefield 6to botch its release, and it’s hard for me not to think about EA’sBattlefront 2, a game that promised fantastic improvements over its predecessor but launched with terrible netcode and aggressive monetization. In 2025, however, opinions onBattlefront 2have generally swung back to very positive, and thestrong foundation thatBattlefield 6is presentingmakes it likely thateven a rough launch could pave the way for a better future.
Although I’m still of the “wait and see” mentality, I’ll be surprised ifBattlefield 6isn’t a good bit better thanBF2042out of the gate. From dynamic gunplay to large-scale destruction, everything that really matters is looking good so far. Whether it’s the game that can truly resurrect the series remains to be seen, but it does look like fans have a reason to start feeling good aboutBattlefield’s future again.
