The freshly released cinematic reveal trailer forBattlefield 6has already surpassed theCall of Duty: Black Ops 7reveal trailer’s likes on YouTube in just a single hour. There’s been a flurry ofBattlefield 6buzz since EA finally confirmed the game’s official title yesterday in teasing today’s thrilling trailer. This modern-day-setBattlefieldgame has been in playtesting for several months, and leaks have pointed toward the game having a separate free-to-play battle royale mode.
The reveal ofBlack Ops 7was the closing act of Xbox’s June showcase last month. It’s the second timeCall of Dutyfans are getting back-to-back subseries entries, followingModern Warfare 2andMW3in 2022 and 2023, respectively.Black Ops 7is a futuristic entrythat will look to serve as both a follow-up to last year’sBlack Ops 6and a sequel to the 2012 classic,Black Ops 2. The reveal trailer confirmed the return of David Mason, whose most recent appearance was inBO2, and the trailer’s trippy and surreal visuals are much in-line withBlack Ops 3,Black Ops Cold War, andBO6’s campaigns.
WithBattlefield 6likely committing to a 2025 release and putting out its reveal trailer, FPS fans are already pitting it againstCall of Duty. Reddit user Realistic_Access posted in theBattlefieldsubreddit pointing out that the likes onBattlefield 6’s trailer have surpassedBlack Ops 7’s reveal on YouTube just one hour after going live. The post shows that theCall of Dutytrailer has a whopping 40 million views and just 140,000 likes, whileBattlefield 6had, at the time, under 18,000 views with 194,000 likes. This is likely due to the trailer being a YouTube Premiere, which allowed fans to like the video before it went live. Realistic_Access says that the Premiere had around 40,000 likes before the trailer dropped, which still puts it ahead ofBlack Ops 7’s trailer. TheBattlefield 6trailer numbers have ballooned since, and now sports close to 2.5 million views with 268,000 likes.
Battlefield 6’s Trailer Outpaces Black Ops 7’s Likes
It’s certainly worth noting that theBlack Ops 7trailer has been out for a month and a half compared to theBattlefield 6trailer’s few hours. Considering the latter is much more packed with blow-your-hair-back action compared toBlack Ops 7’s much slower, headier reveal, it’s easy to see howBattlefield 6has garnered more likes from FPS lovers.CODfans potentially not being as excited to havetwoBlack Opsgames in a rowcould also have played a factor, despite theBO7trailer confirming the game will feature different characters and a futuristic setting, making it stand apart fromBlack Ops 6. Furthermore, despiteBattlefield 2042’s disappointing launch, it’s been four years since it was released, allowing for fans of the franchise to grow hungrier forBattlefield 6.
