Explained simply
Battlefield is a long-running multiplayer military game series defined by large-scale combat, destructible environments and extensive vehicle gameplay. The latest instalment, Battlefield 6, has been regularly updated with new content since its launch.
The upcoming Season 4 update will bring back two features that have been absent from the series for more than two decades: naval warfare and two-seat jets that allow two players to control different weapon systems from one aircraft. The last Battlefield game to include these elements was 2005's Battlefield 2.
The update also includes a crossover with the Top Gun film franchise, which brings characters and content from the films into the game. For long-time players, the return of these classic features signals the developers are reviving elements that made earlier games in the series popular.
