Battlefield 6 adds Top Gun in August

Season 4, Phase 2 introduces three characters from the franchise.

Battlefield 6 will add three Top Gun characters alongside new modes and more as part of Season 4, Phase 2 on 18 August.

Alongside the addition of Top Gun‘s iconic F-18 Super Hornet and F-14 Tomcat jets, characters Lt. Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw (Miles Teller), Lt. Robert “Bob” Floyd (Lewis Pullman), and Adm. Solomon “Warlock” Bates (Charles Parnell) will feature in-game. The update also adds “two new modes inspired by the franchise’s iconic aerial combat,” according to EA.

“It’s a huge honour to appear in a long-running franchise like Battlefield with its millions of fans, and talented people working on it,” said Miles Teller. “And with Top Gun, it’s like two titans meeting.”

“I’ll actually be the one giving orders in-game, which I love,” added Charles Parnell, “If it’s my voice that pushes players on to clutch a win, that’s awesome.”

As part of the content, a new mode called Carrier Strike will pit “naval, air, and ground forces against one another as teams seek to destroy the enemy aircraft carrier in a showdown,” according to EA.

“Phase 2 (Top Gun) debuts on August 18th with Battlefield and Top Gun’s collaboration content alongside a reimagining of one of Battlefield’s classic maps, Wake Island,” reads a press release.

Season 4 kicks off on 21 July.

Battlefield 6 is available on Windows PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
