Destruction has long been a defining feature of the Battlefield series, and for the upcoming installment, DICE is set to elevate the chaos and rubble to new heights. The developer recently unveiled a video and a Battlefield Labs Community Update, giving fans a glimpse into what they can expect from the next entry in the iconic series. In the pre-alpha footage, we witness the extent of DICE's destruction mechanics as an explosion demolishes the side of a building, creating a new pathway through the structure.

Destruction in the game is poised to offer players creative tactical options. In the Community Update, DICE emphasized their efforts to enhance gameplay depth by allowing players to dynamically alter the environment. Whether you're breaking down a wall to set up an ambush or carving out a new route to a strategic point, manipulating the environment can provide significant advantages.
"We're designing destruction around easily identifiable visual and audio language that lets you understand what can be destroyed, altered, or transformed through gameplay," DICE stated. "We aim to make destruction an integral part of your Battlefield experience to create an intuitive, fun, and rewarding environment where you feel empowered to shape the world around you."
The impact on structures will vary; while explosives are effective, even bullets can chip away at walls, allowing players to shoot through them. Audio and visual effects will provide feedback, ensuring players know their efforts are making a difference.
The aftermath of destruction will also have lasting effects on the battlefield. For instance, rubble from a destroyed building will remain, potentially serving as cover for players. It's clear that the next Battlefield game, often referred to as "Battlefield 6," is deeply focused on destruction.
While not much has been officially confirmed about "Battlefield 6," gameplay leaks have garnered positive feedback from the community. The game is set in a modern environment and is slated for release within Electronic Arts' fiscal year 2026, spanning from April 2025 to March 2026. However, release dates could shift, especially in response to moves by major industry competitors.
With significant effort being poured into this next entry, the new Battlefield game appears to be going all out. Perfecting the level of destruction is undoubtedly a promising step forward for the series.
