Battlefield 6 - 5 Hours?!

EA’s latest campaign for Battlefield 6 clocks in at 4–5 hours. That sounds short — but in context, it’s only slightly below the franchise norm. Is it a risky move or a smart gamble? In this video, we dig deep into campaign length, narrative structure, DLC potential, tone, and whether this “short story” could still reposition Battlefield’s soul.

Longer Teaser / Synopsis (for description or blog post):
In this video, we break down everything we know about the Battlefield 6 campaign — from projected 4–5 hour runtime to narrative ambition, from characters to visuals, and the gamble EA is taking by returning to single-player. We compare with older Battlefield campaigns, weigh the potential for future DLC, and ask whether a “shorter story” can still carry weight. If you want a sharp, honest take rooted in franchise history (not clickbait), this is the one you need to watch.
