Season 4 of Battlefield 6 is here, and with it comes the return of Navel Warfare, Top Gun crossover content, and more.
The update includes F-18/Super Hornet and iconic F-14 Tomcat, fan-favorite characters from Top Gun, as well as two new modes inspired by the franchise’s iconic aerial combat.
The three characters from Top Gun are fully voiced by their original performers: Lt. Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw (Miles Teller), Lt. Robert “Bob” Floyd (Lewis Pullman), Adm. Solomon “Warlock” Bates (Charles Parnell), with Top Gun-inspired character skins and cosmetics available in-game.
“It's a huge honor to appear in a long-running franchise like
Battlefield with its millions of fans, and talented people working on
it,” said Miles Teller. “And with Top Gun, it's like two titans
meeting.”
“I’ll actually be the one giving orders in-game, which I
love,” said Charles Parnell, “If it’s my voice that pushes players on
to clutch a win, that’s awesome.”
Additionally, Carrier Strike is a new Battlefield 6 mode which will debut during this collaboration, and pits navel, air, and ground forces against one another as teams attempt to destroy the enemy's aircraft carrier.
“Battlefield is very intense, whether you're in the sky or on the ground or fighting in the sea, “ said Lewis Pullman, “In that way, it’s a perfect pairing with Top Gun.”
Players can also now jump into a new Gauntlet mission for Battlefield REDSEC, a jets-only mission set on a reworked version of Tsuru Reef.
“Jets. Adrenaline. The drive to be the best. Battlefield’s unmatched sense of scale is the perfect way to bring Top Gun’s iconic and cinematic aerial combat to life.” says Ryan McArthur, Executive Producer. “We can’t wait for our players to experience the update when it hits on August 18 but our collaboration is also just a piece of Battlefield 6’s biggest season yet.”
Phase 1 of Season 4 will introduce the largest map in Battlefield 6 yet, Tsuru Reef. This new battlefield features vast air and sea spaces as well as naval aircraft carriers with operational flight decks, and the introduction of a new Dynamic Wave System which will impact boat movement, player aim, and line of sight.
Phase 2 is set to launch on August 18th, with Battlefield and Top Gun's collaboration content alongside a reimagining of iconic Battlefield map Wake Island.
Phase 3 will follow on September 15th, and includes a collection event offering rewards for those who complete naval-based contracts and challenges.
“When Battlefield 6 launched, it had a strong core of content that we’ve
grown over time, using feedback from the community to make the game
even better,” says Byron Beede, General Manager of Battlefield. “With
the addition of Naval Warfare, our Top Gun collaboration, our largest
map, and so much more, Season 4 is our biggest update yet and is the
perfect opportunity for players old and new to dive in.”
Season 4 will also see the release of several anticipated updates to the game. Battlefield Studios is rolling out a series of quality-of-life updates, with Spectator Mode and the Portal Custom Lobby launching this season.
Battlefield 6 is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
