Battlefield 6 Campaign Has BF3 Connection You Might Have Missed

by

This article reveals key details about the story and missions in Battlefield 6‘s solo campaign, so be warned – spoilers ahead!

The campaign in Battlefield 6 includes several references to previous games, especially Battlefield 3. One mission specifically introduces the beginnings of the villainous group, Pax Armata. While you don’t need to have played older Battlefield games to enjoy Battlefield 6, long-time fans will appreciate how events from Battlefield 3 connect to the new game’s story.

Battlefield 6 launched on October 10th and quickly became one of the most popular games of 2025 on Steam. Over 747,000 people were playing simultaneously on its first day, and even after less than a week, the game continues to draw over 474,000 daily players.

Battlefield 3’s Story Heavily Influences the Battlefield 6 Experience

Everyone’s been super hyped about the multiplayer in the new *Battlefield*, but I was really interested to learn about the single-player campaign too! It’s a nine-mission story where you’re up against this powerful private military group called Pax Armata – they’re basically breaking all the rules. Apparently, the story explains how they came to power after NATO fell apart. What’s *really* cool though, is that it connects back to *Battlefield 3*! I read on ComicBook that the main character from that game, Henry Blackburn, was actually involved in a mission that *led* to Pax Armata and their leader, Alexander Kincaid, becoming so powerful. It’s awesome how they’re tying everything together!

In *Battlefield 6*, during the Night Raid mission, Master Sergeant Haz Carter, known as Dagger 13, shares his firsthand account of the events that originally unfolded in *Battlefield 3*’s Night Shift mission. That earlier mission saw Blackburn trying to capture Faruk Al-Bashir, the leader of the People’s Liberation and Resistance. While Blackburn was successful, Carter and his unit faced a much tougher situation, becoming trapped by an enemy battalion. Kincaid, the leader of a supporting SAS unit, attempted to help, but Carter ordered a retreat without him, likely abandoning Kincaid and his team. This decision ultimately shaped Carter’s path and led to his leadership position within Pax Armata.

Though he hasn’t been a major character in a game since *Battlefield 3*, the story of Blackburn is expanding. Following his dismissal from service after the events of *Battlefield 3*, the *Battlefield 4* campaign reveals he’s built his own private security company, operating in Europe and potentially creating weapons for Russia. Since he’s still active in *Battlefield 2042* as the founder of Arkangel Corporation, it’s probable that players will continue to encounter references to Blackburn in future *Battlefield* games, including *Battlefield 6* and beyond.
