Following the exciting debut trailer for Battlefield 6, which hinted at a single-player campaign set amidst the urban landscapes of New York City, attention now turns to the highly anticipated multiplayer reveal. This upcoming event promises to unveil new and returning game modes, alongside a detailed look at how the series` iconic class system has been reimagined for this modern combat setting.

What to Expect from the Multiplayer Showcase
EA and Battlefield Studios have indicated that the reveal will extensively showcase various components of the multiplayer experience. Notably, there`s speculation about a new battle royale mode making its debut in the franchise, which aligns with mentions of both new and returning modes. Alongside this potential addition, classic Battlefield modes such as Rush and Conquest are almost certainly going to be featured. Rush involves teams planting explosives at objectives across a section of a map, progressively unlocking more areas, while Conquest, the series` signature large-scale mode, focuses on teams capturing and holding control points to deplete the enemy`s respawn tickets.
Given the strong emphasis on New York City in the initial reveal, it`s highly probable that a multiplayer map set in this iconic city will be showcased. Teasers have also hinted at locations like Georgia (the country) and Gibraltar, suggesting these could be additional battlegrounds. Expect to see significant environmental destruction, a hallmark of the Battlefield series, with a particular focus on intense urban warfare, reminiscent of fan-favorite maps from previous titles.
Battlefield Studios has been transparent about the refinements made to the class system, largely in response to feedback regarding the `specialists` introduced in Battlefield 2042, the previous major release. These specialists, akin to hero characters in games like Overwatch, were met with controversy among long-time fans who felt they detracted from the traditional tactical squad-based gameplay. The reveal is expected to delve into these class overhauls, as well as other enhancements to character and loadout customization.
