Battlefield 6 (Battlefield 2042)

Battlefield 2042, originally anticipated as Battlefield 6, is a prominent first-person shooter developed by the Swedish studio DICE. The franchise has deep roots in Stockholm, where it was first conceptualized in the early 2000s, revolutionizing the genre with its large-scale vehicular combat and destructible environments. While the creative development is anchored in Sweden, the physical production of discs and packaging occurs in multiple manufacturing hubs globally, including the United States, Europe, and Asia.

The brand is owned by Electronic Arts (EA), one of the world's largest interactive entertainment companies. EA acquired the original developer, Digital Illusions CE, to consolidate the franchise under its global publishing umbrella. Today, Battlefield remains a flagship intellectual property for EA, managed through various international subsidiaries and development partners within the EA Entertainment division. Headquarters for the ultimate owner remain in Redwood City, California, overseeing the brand's worldwide distribution and live service operations forward into 2026 and beyond.
