The trailer forBattlefield 6premiered 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 madeBattlefield 6an 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 2042still 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.
