We Got The Need For Speed: Top Gun Roars Into Battlefield 6

Three characters from Top Gun come to life in-game, fully voiced by their original performers: Lt. Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw (Miles Teller), Lt. Robert "Bob" Floyd (Lewis Pullman), and Adm. Solomon "Warlock" Bates (Charles Parnell), with Top Gun-inspired character skins and cosmetics available in-game.

Carrier Strike is a new Battlefield 6 mode debuting during this collaboration that pits naval, air, and ground forces against one another as teams seek to destroy the enemy aircraft carrier in a showdown creating an incredible blending of Battlefield and Top Gun's defining characteristics.

"It's a huge honor 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," said Charles Parnell, "If it's my voice that pushes players on to clutch a win, that's awesome."

"Battlefield is very intense, whether you're in the sky or on the ground or fighting in the sea, " said Lewis Pullman, "In that way, it's a perfect pairing with Top Gun."

"Jets. Adrenaline. The drive to be the best. Battlefield's unmatched sense of scale is the perfect way to bring Top Gun's iconic and cinematic aerial combat to life," says Ryan McArthur, Executive Producer. "We can't wait for our players to experience the update when it hits on August 18, but our collaboration is also just a piece of Battlefield 6's biggest season yet."
