Battlefield 6 is stirring some hope for fans craving a grounded military shooter experience. Recent datamined faction skins reveal a direction that feels way more authentic and less goofy than what we’ve seen in Call of Duty’s recent, cartoon-heavy cosmetics. It’s kinda refreshing to see a shooter leaning back toward serious military vibes instead of the usual over-the-top skins.
Reddit user ZaayKoZ shared early images of faction skins for Battlefield 6, showing off designs for four different classes. These skins stick to a realistic, no-nonsense style—no anime, no cartoons, just solid military gear. They might not pop with bright colors like some other games, but for players tired of seeing random entertainment characters invading their shooters, this is a welcome change.
That said, don’t get your hopes up that there won’t be any crossovers or wacky skins down the line. EA is definitely aware of how much money Activision makes from those flashy cosmetics, so it’s likely they’ll try to squeeze some of that cash too. Maybe DICE will strike a balance, but who knows? For now, it’s nice to see the core designs sticking to something that feels genuine.
If you missed it, the Battlefield 6 reveal trailer gives a peek at the game’s story and its military shooter roots. Honestly, after watching Call of Duty go full goofy, I stopped playing their multiplayer. Battlefield 6 appears to be avoiding that trap, which is great for anyone seeking a more serious shooter experience. EA might lose out on some microtransaction money, but maybe that’s the right call for long-term success.
Battlefield 6’s multiplayer reveal is scheduled for July 31, and MP1st will be there with exclusive gameplay coverage and impressions, so stay tuned for all the juicy details. While EA hasn’t confirmed an official release date, indications suggest an October launch for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Last-gen consoles won’t be getting this one, sorry folks.
