[h3]SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN[/h3]

Battlefield 6’s Single Player campaign is a white-knuckle thrill ride taking you all over the world. You play as various members of Dagger 13, an elite squad of Marine Raiders determined to stop Pax Armata, a private military corporation seeking to reshape global power as NATO teeters on the edge of collapse.



Battlefield 6 is a return to a singular narrative, one that has you fighting battles across three continents. During this campaign, you’ll be part of a combined arms operation storming the beaches of Gibraltar, take to the streets of Brooklyn for intense gunfights, perform a HALO jump into enemy territory, and more in this modern military thriller.

Along the way, you'll play as every member of Dagger 13, utilizing their individual specializations to defeat the enemy in every battle.
