EA made the announcement of its announcement via a teaser in the tweet, below. It reveals little save the Battlefield logo we saw from the leaked video Eurogamer reported was meant for internal use only.

The leaked video - and this officially-released teaser - confirm a near future setting for the upcoming DICE-developed shooter.

In May, EA discussed how Battlefield 6 would benefit from its development focus having been on current-gen consoles - PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S - even though it will also launch on last-gen hardware - PS4 and Xbox One.

In November last year, EA hyped up Battlefield 6's focus on new consoles as a "true next-gen vision for the franchise", while in April DICE spoke of the game's "epic scale" and "massive battles, packed with more players and mayhem than ever before. All brought to life with the power of next-gen consoles and PCs".

The game is due out in time for Christmas 2021.
