‘Battlefield 6’ Launch Trailer Pokes Fun At ‘Call Of Duty’ With Zac Efron And Morgan Wallen

Battlefield 6 returns to a serious military style with destructible environments and no celebrity skins, mocking Call of Duty’s overreliance on star-studded marketing.

  • Electronic Arts debuted a live-action trailer featuring Zac Efron, Jimmy Butler, Morgan Wallen, and Paddy Pimblett before Battlefield 6 launches on October 10, 2025, with pre-loading starting October 6, 2025.
  • Electronic Arts placed Vince Zampella in charge to steer the series back after Battlefield 2042's disappointing reception in 2021, with the new title inspired by Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 for a more serious style.
  • The game introduces a Kinesthetic Combat System allowing leaning, vehicle traversal, and dragging downed teammates, while four main classes, nine maps, destructible environments, and a 2027 single-player campaign connect to multiplayer.
  • The trailer takes direct aim at Call of Duty franchise's celebrity-heavy commercials, killing four celebrities within seconds and replacing them with soldiers in a marketing push ahead of launch.
  • With a reported budget of over $400 million, EA hopes Battlefield 6 will reinvigorate the franchise and pressure Call of Duty and Activision to rethink celebrity crossovers.
