Battlefield 6's developers have been very open about the fact that the upcoming FPS game is inspired by Battlefield 3 and 4, but its single-player campaign also takes plenty from other media including war movies and documentaries.
Speaking in an interview with GamesRadar+, DICE narrative director Emily Grace Buck reiterates that "3 and 4 were our biggest touchstones," as they featured "fantastic campaigns with grounded, interesting characters set in what was then a contemporary setting." In addition, "I would say we also looked at some of the human cost scale from things like Battlefield 1."
