Battlefield 6 to reportedly be named Battlefield 2042, open beta rumored to start in late June

Battlefield 6's existence may have been the worst kept secret of 2021. With a series of leaks popping up over the past couple of months, not only was Battlefield's reveal ruined by a low-quality trailer leak, but it seems that the game's title has also been leaked.

The rumored moniker for Electronic Arts' latest entry to the franchise is "Battlefield 2042."
