Battlefield 6 dropped a new live-action trailer. The highly anticipated FPS will be released on 10 October and so far the game has been well-received by fans and critics with the Open Beta back in August. The live-action trailer has been praised so far on social media with over 80 thousand likes on the official Battlefield YouTube channel, as of writing this article.
We Are A Realistic Modern Shooter
The trailer starts off by showing us four soldiers. Celebrities Zac Efron, Jimmy Butler, Morgan Wallen and Paddy Pimblett star as the four soldiers. Before they set off into battle they are unceremoniously blown up before realistic soldiers show up. ”Who was that?” one of the soldiers asks. ”Doesn’t matter. Let’s move.” A humorous way to open the trailer and possibly a dig at Call of Duty? Many on social media believe this. Users like Jake Lucky, a gaming content creator commented on this. ”Battlefield 6 dropping a dang near Call of Duty diss track” he posted on X.
Call of Duty in the past have used celebrities like this in their live-action trailers. Battlefield is committed to delivering a realistic military shooter. Call of Duty has been criticised in the past for losing its identity with characters like Beavis and Butthead appearing recent games. Battlefield 6 is looking to go in the other direction.
They have proved this with the latest trailer with realistic soldiers showing up to fight and not celebrities who walk in slow motion, half-naked and ready to fight with cheesy one-liners. Fair play to Zac Efron and the other cast members for doing this fun little joke.
An Explosive Time
The rest of the trailer is shots of soldiers fighting against the Pax Armata, the antagonists of the upcoming campaign, in war torn New York City. Gunfights, explosions, tanks, jets and absolute chaos. Everything that makes Battlefield amazing is shown here. A fun little live-action trailer to get everybody hyped up for the next Battlefield game. Battlefield 6 will be released on 10 October on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Check out the live-action trailer below.
