The announcement of a newBattlefieldgame is quickly approaching. Nothing official has been confirmed, but a variety of leaks and reporting make clear thatBattlefield 6’s reveal is near. The latest evidence at hand is an oddity. It’s a recording of the audio from the supposedBattlefield 6reveal trailer. Further, it’s an extended recording, as a previous leak shared a shorter clip of the trailer’s audio. Perhaps the leaker believes more of theBattlefield 6trailer’s audio will prove more persuasive.
While there’s no issue with the trailer’s audio, as it’s recorded with relatively high quality and there’s no obfuscating audio layered over it, it’s still weird, to say the least.Battlefieldgame trailers, as fans know, are full of explosions, gunfire, and booming soundtracks with large drops and dramatic. TheBattlefield 6trailer audio is no different. There’s a rhythmic music track in the background, now confirmed to be 2WEI’s “Run Baby Run,” with large drum beats and loud drops intermingled with shouts, planes flying overhead, and weapon fire. It’s exactly what fans would expect.

The trailer’s audio being exactly what fans would expect does also lend the leak veracity. While it’s not impossible for a fan with extra time on their hands to fake such an audio clip, since there’s nothing particularly unique about it, that’s a lot of effort to go to. As a result, It makes a lot of sense for it to be a genuine leak from theBattlefield 6trailer.Battlefieldfans should still remain skeptical, but don’t be surprised if the game’s eventual announcement trailer sounds eerily familiar.
As for why theleakers chose to release audio of theBattlefield 6trailerbut not the trailer itself, there are a lot of theories. Some fans think it’s a controlled leak by EA’s marketing team, largely due to distrust of marketing in general. Others think it could be because the video element could be marked or unfinished in a way that would give away the leakers' identities. Another possible scenario is that it’s a trailer for a different game or the like and showing video would show the leaks are faked.
There are two clear conclusions that can be drawn from the situation. The first is that this leak is completely ridiculous. As fun as listening to the audio might be, it reveals nothing aboutBattlefield 5. Second,Battlefieldfansare very excited for more information about the game.
All fans can do now is hope that either the full trailer is leaked or thatEA decidesto officially announce the game soon. The latest reporting on the situation hadBattlefield 6being announced in late May or June, so there’s not much to do except wait.
