Following months of playtests, EA finally started revving up its marketing machine for Battlefield 6, giving us our first look at the game last week ahead of its multiplayer reveal later today.

5 years on from Tsushima’s release and Sucker Punch is gearing up to launch its successor – with Ghost of Yotei set to arrive this October.
