Battlefield 6

At the heart of the story is the special operations team “Dagger 13,” which includes Hayden “Haz” Carter, Dylan Murphy, and Simone “Gecko” Espina. The campaign takes you across multiple locations — including the US, Gibraltar, and Egypt — and features a serious, grounded tone reminiscent of Battlefield 3 and 4.
