The trailer for Battlefield 6 premiered this week, and with it, a bold promise of a return to an intense story filled with warfare. It’s been four years since the last entry in the series, Battlefield 2042, hit the scene, and its controversial launch and lack of a single-player campaign has made Battlefield 6 an important project. The upcoming entry could get the franchise back on track, and the level of environmental destruction showcased in the trailer is a good sign of what’s to come.
Granted, Battlefield 2042 still includes some building destruction, but it’s definitely a scaled-back version of what the franchise has featured in the past. Battlefield 6‘s trailer puts destruction front and center, and when it comes to the teased setting of NYC’s Brooklyn borough, the location could prove to be a playground for players who have been waiting for the mechanic to return to its roots.

Chaos in America’s Biggest City
Although Brooklyn isn’t NYC’s central area of Manhattan, it’s indeed the most populated of the five boroughs, meaning that this section of the game is bound to be harrowing. Between the brownstones and apartment complexes, Battlefield 6‘s destruction mechanics are going to be on full display, at least hopefully. Showcasing combat in densely populated areas like Brooklyn is a promising sign that developer DICE is really taking player feedback to heart.
Also, it’s even possible that the fight in Brooklyn bleeds over to Manhattan, as well. If that’s the case, then Battlefield 6 could truly have a field day demonstrating just how much destruction one can do within the game. Skyscrapers, monuments like the Statue of Liberty, and Yankee Stadium could all be caught up in the crossfire. Battlefield 6‘s bold first trailer hints that the attack on Brooklyn is going to be an important turning point for the narrative, and it raises a lot of questions about the game’s story.

The placement of the Brooklyn level could have a wildly different impact, depending on where it’s placed in the story. Of course, this section of the game could definitely be thrilling in the middle or ending, but Battlefield 6‘s Brooklyn scene is hopefully the opening of the game. Battlefield 6 has already ignited plenty of hype, and with the Brooklyn scene as its opening, it could be a great way to welcome players to a new era of the series.
The main antagonist in Battlefield 6 has been confirmed to be a mysterious organization known as Pax Armata. The group’s motives still remain unknown, but it’s clear that they are specifically targeting NATO countries.
