- Battlefield 6 debuts a new live-action trailer featuring big Hollywood celebrities, including Zac Efron and more.
- These stars are killed just seconds into the trailer, which is a direct shot at Call of Duty, a franchise notorious for the most unorthodox collabs.
- Battlefield 6 will remain a true military experience with no room for goofy and silly skins.
Only a few days till Battlefield 6 is released, and it seems that EA is going full throttle into the game’s marketing. A new live-action trailer for the game has now been released, featuring big Hollywood celebrities such as Zac Efron, Jimmy Butler, and more.
While EA was seemingly taking the Call of Duty approach with these big stars, the case was quite the opposite. Halfway through the trailer, they made it clear that they’re taking shots at their rival Call of Duty instead of following in their footsteps.
Why it matters: It took several years for Battlefield to finally catch up to Call of Duty, and now the distance between the two franchises is massive. Activision’s flagship franchise has suffered a severe decline in quality, and it was only right for them to receive this treatment.
The trailer opens with Zac Efron, Jimmy Butler, Morgan Wallen, and Paddy Pimblett all representing four of each class for the game and dropping into the battle. However, soon, a missile hits and wipes them out completely, with actual soldiers now replacing these celebrities.
This is clearly a shade thrown at Call of Duty, which has notoriously collaborated with major brands, celebrities, and characters, resulting in some of the most goofy and silly-looking skins — somewhat absurd for a military FPS like this.
EA made it crystal clear that they wouldn’t walk the same path and would remain authentic to the real military experience. This trailer is just them doubling down on their previous statement.
Previously, the former Blizzard boss predicted that Battlefield 6 would ‘boot stomp‘ Black Ops 7 this year. It appears that Mike Ybarra’s statement may be true after all, as 62% of Call of Duty players have wishlist Battlefield 6.
