Battlefield 6: Every Campaign Mission And How Long It Really Takes To Beat
After months of hype, Battlefield 6 finally drops—solo players get a full campaign, but it’s a lean nine missions.
Battlefield 6 is finally out, and yes, there is a full single-player campaign. If you care more about set pieces and story than squad wipes and K/D ratios, here’s what you’re getting into, how long it takes, and what (not) to expect after the credits.
The campaign, at a glance
EA shipped Battlefield 6 with a nine-mission story mode. It’s not huge, but it’s there, and it’s designed to put you through a decent mix of stealth, firefights, and big loud chaos. On Regular difficulty, plan on roughly 4–5 hours to see the end. That can swing shorter or longer depending on how you play.
- Always Faithful
- The Rock
- Operation Gladius
- Night Raid
- No Sleep
- Moving Mountains
- Nile Guard
- Operation Ember Strike
- Always Forward
There are four difficulty settings: Recruit, Regular, Veteran, and Hardcore. Cranking it up to Veteran or Hardcore will slow you down (and probably make you rethink your life choices a few times). If you’re the type who combs every corner for collectibles and hunts trophies/achievements, you can stretch that runtime a lot.
Campaign DLC? Don’t count on it
If you’re hoping EA will beef up the single-player with expansions, temper expectations. Electronic Arts hasn’t announced any campaign add-ons, and that doesn’t look likely to change. The focus after launch is squarely on multiplayer.
What is coming post-launch
EA laid out a roadmap that starts with Season 1 on October 28. Expect monthly drops aimed at the online side: new maps, new modes, new vehicles, the usual live-service drip. Season 1 is built around three major updates — Rogue Ops, California Resistance, and Winter Offensive — and while there’s no official end date, it’s expected to wrap around January 26. Then it’s on to Seasons 2, 3, and so on.
Is it thrilling? Not exactly. This is the modern model: subscriptions, battle passes, and a steady multiplayer treadmill. If you wanted a meaty story expansion, this probably isn’t that era anymore.
For the basics: Battlefield 6 is developed by EA, it’s a first-person shooter, and it launched on October 10, 2025. If you dive into the campaign, let me know how it hits — short and punchy can still be a good time if it sticks the landing.
