Criterion senior producer Danny Isaac expanded on that approach: you want the game to feel modern — the characters to inhabit a believable, contemporary world. To achieve that, the team studied numerous military films, especially those that convey the pressure and tension infantry units face on the ground.
Buck also cites specific influences such as the TV series Lioness and the 2024 film Civil War. “We looked to works like Generation Kill, and I’ve watched so many recent war documentaries I couldn’t list them all,” she said.
She continued by explaining why those past Battlefield entries resonated: they aimed to tell a contemporary war story when they were made, often setting narratives just a few years ahead of release. “We wanted to channel that same spirit here — not to copy Battlefield 3, but to embrace the idea of looking at conflict through the eyes of people living it now. That means drawing on present-day stories so we can portray these experiences respectfully for service members around the world,” Buck added.
Ultimately, players will judge how this campaign measures up to earlier titles once Battlefield 6 launches on October 10.
