Battlefield 6 campaign has BF3 connection you may have missed

Battlefield 6The campaign contains some rather significant calls to the events in previous games, and in particular, Battlefield 3With one of its assignments that plant seeds from the rogue organization PAX Armata. While I have played previous games in the series is really not a prerequisite for enjoying Battlefield 6prolonged fans may notice how the events in Battlefield 3 has been transferred to the recent game campaign.

Battlefield 6, which was launched on October 10, has seen huge player numbers on Steam that put it on or near the top of the list for the largest games in 2025. On the launch date, more than 747,000 simultaneous players have been recorded on Steam, and although the game has been out for less than a week, its daily tops have not been dipped under 47 000.

Battlefield 3's story strongly affects Battlefield 6 experience

While most of the Fanbase's attention has been directed at the game's various competitive team-based multiplayer modes, Battlefield 6 Also has a nine assignment campaign as PIT's player against PAX Armata, a technically superior private military force playing outside the war rules. This new threat gives the campaign a comfortable villain in the wake of NATO's collapse. But, as pointed out by Comicbook, is one thing that players may not know that Henry Blackburn, the main character and playable character for the majority of Battlefield 3The campaign was bound in a mission that led to Pax Armata's rise through its leader, Alexander Kincaid.

During Battlefield 6S Night Raid Mission, Dagger 13 Master Sgt. Haz Carter tells, from his own perspective, the story originally told in the similar title Night Shift, a Stealth assignment near the end of Battlefield 3. In this assignment, Blackburn tries to capture the antagonistic Faruk al-Bashir, leader of the people's liberation and resistance. But while Blackburn pulled heroic feats, Carter went more badly, with his unit corner of an enemy battalion. Kincaid, the leader of a SAS unit that was with Carter, went back to help his men, but Carter pulled his forces out of the battlefield without him, probably left Kincaid and his unit to die and light the spark that led him to his leadership role in Pax Armata.

While Blackburn has never made a prominent appearance in a game since Battlefield 3Lore surrounding him is growing. After his dishonest discharge after the events in Battlefield 3it is taught in the campaign of Battlefield 4 That he has come to lead his own private military organization, offer security services in Europe and possibly develop new weapons for the Russian military. Given that he is still left for the events in Battlefield 2042 As the founder of Arkangel Corporation it is likely to Battlefield 6 will not be the last game where players hear mention of his name.
