'Battlefield 6' Details Post-Launch And Season 1 Content Roadmap

by Rainier on Sept. 30, 2025 @ 12:08 p.m. PDT

Battlefield 6 is the next installment in the long-running Battlefield franchise, bringing a new all-out warfare experience.

In Battlefield 6, the series’ incredible blend of visceral combat, epic warfare, and player freedom returns. Blow through walls and bring down buildings for a tactical advantage or take to the skies in white-knuckle dogfights. Take part in a war filled with tanks, fighter jets, and sweeping combat at a grand scale but remember: the deadliest weapon is your squad. 

Witness the vicious path of destruction carved by Pax Armata, the world’s leading private military company. PAX pursues the destruction of NATO and its allies, stopping at nothing to uphold their motto: “Our Protection, Your Peace.” Fight in high-intensity infantry combat. Demolish your environment for a strategic advantage. In a war of tanks, fighter jets, and massive combat arsenals, your squad is the deadliest weapon.

The year is 2027. The world is on the edge of chaos. After a high-profile assassination shocks the world, major European countries have left NATO, while the US and its allies grapple with the fallout. A massive private military corporation unafraid to cross lines, with deep pockets and the latest tech, looks to fill the power vacuum. This army is PAX ARMATA. What’s left of NATO is in tatters, wounded and battered. This is the world of Battlefield 6.

Battlefield 6 introduces a host of new features, including the all-new Kinesthetic Combat System, which brings enhancements to movement and gunplay. This gives players an unprecedented level of mobility, offering new tactical options such as Drag and Revive to pull teammates out of danger and back from the brink, and mounting weapons on walls to reduce recoil. 

The iconic class system returns better than ever, with Assault, Recon, Support, and Engineer, empowering players to define their role on the battlefield. The four roles have been enhanced, designed to empower players to push their team towards victory, each with class-specific gadgets, signature weapons and dedicated training. Destruction also returns, but enhanced to offer an unparalleled level of freedom, letting players transform the combat zone, to create new paths, flank enemies and dominate the battle.

Lock & load for the ultimate all-out warfare experience.


Battlefield 6 Post-Launch 2025 - Season 1 Roadmap

After all-out war begins on October 10, prepare for reinforcements.

Battlefield 6 Season 1, the first major free update with new maps, modes, weapons and more, will begin on October 28, 2025 across all platforms.

Each season, we will deliver brand new content every month: starting with Season 1, expect new maps, weapons, modes, vehicles and other features that not only enhance Battlefield 6 Multiplayer, but are also available for creators to add to Community Experiences using the Portal Builder Tool. 


On October 28, our first season kicks off with Rogue Ops, an experience where squads will be challenged to use their ingenuity and achieve victory on our new map Blackwell Fields.

On November 18, the homegrown United States alliance defies the odds in the California Resistance and takes the battle to Eastwood.

And on December 9, the tide of war shifts once again with a sub-zero chill during the Winter Offensive that blankets the Empire State in snow.

While we have more to share about Season 1 soon, here’s everything you need to know for now:

Rogue Ops - Launching October 28

Season 1’s first phase features three new weapons, a new map, vehicle, Multiplayer mode, attachments and more…

Blackwell Fields - Map, Support for All Combat Sizes, Land and Air Vehicles

Just as the fires of war from the single-player campaign start to cool, Pax Armata double agents launch a series of attacks on NATO targets. These strikes begin at a recently recommissioned American air base in the California badlands.

Strikepoint - Mode, Designed for 4v4 Combat

Strikepoint is an intense, small team tactical mode where a squad fights another squad across multiple rounds to capture a key objective. There is only one life each round, so make it count.

APC Traverser Mark 2 - Land Vehicle

This Armored Personnel Carrier seats four: one driver, one roof gunner and two backseat passenger side gunners, serving mostly as an infantry support vehicle.

SOR-300C  - Carbine Rifle

A low rate of fire, subcompact carbine chambered in the higher damage .300 Blackout ammunition compared to the platform’s 5.56 version.

Mini Fix - Sniper Rifle

Remember the Scout Elite? Then consider this  lightweight, bolt-action sniper rifle designed for the aggressive Recon soldier a “Mini Fix” to your needs.

GGH-22 - Sidearm

A high-capacity, high fire rate and low damage pistol meant to bail out a soldier when their primary (and in the case of Assault, both their primaries) run dry.

Rail Cover & LPVO - Attachments

Available for a variety of rifles and light machine guns, these two attachments - the Rail Cover and the  Low Powered Variable Optic (LPVO) - are the first of several to drop after launch to make you rethink how you spend those attachment points.

California Resistance - Launching November 18

Season 1’s second phase is around the liberation of SoCal; prepare for combat on a new map and mode, as well as with two new weapons and more…

Eastwood - Map, Support for All Combat Sizes, Land Vehicles and Helicopters

As part of a coordinated strike across the west coast of the United States, Pax Armata sleeper agents embedded into the Eastwood community - a sleepy, affluent suburb connected to a golf course - are activated.

Sabotage - Mode, Designed for 8v8 Combat

Destroy as many sites as possible before the round time finishes. Use your creativity and your arsenal to do so. Each team has one round each to go on offense and defense; the team who successfully detonates the most sites wins.

Battle Pickups - Feature

Veterans will be familiar with Battle Pickups: unlike weapons that appear in a loadout, Battle Pickups are high-tech, powerful weaponry that are limited in ammo and availability throughout a given map. Where will these pickups live exactly? That’s up to you and your squad to find out…

DB-12 - Shotgun

A dual barrel pump-action shotgun that feeds from two different tubes. One trigger pull fires a shell (or slug) from one barrel, a second trigger pull fires the other, then the pump action rechambers both barrels.

M327 Trait - Sidearm

High damage with a low rate of fire, this eight-round revolver is strong up close with a considerable damage drop-off compared to its .44 Magnum comrade.

Troy Angled - Attachment

The third attachment to come in Season 1, this grip offers an alternative choice for underbarrel choices with its unique blend of ergonomic and handling changes.

Winter Offensive - Launching December 9

Season 1’s final phase challenges your squad to break through an icy stalemate - expect the Empire State to freeze over alongside several other wintery updates…

Ice Lock Empire State - Limited Time Map Update

Environmental threats detected -- temperatures have dropped well below freezing in Brooklyn. Gear up, stay warm, and take complete control of the borough with this limited time visual update to the Empire State map.

Ice Lock - Limited Time Event

The Ice Lock looms…

This Limited Time Event is centered around a mechanic called Freeze, which is a gameplay modifier that is only active in specific experiences.

Ice Climbing Axe - Melee

Designed to make an enemy’s blood run cold or pick through more delicate environmental pieces, expect this new melee tool to compliment this category typically reserved for knives and the sledgehammer.

Get Battlefield 6 on October 10 and Prepare for Season 1


The stage is set for ultimate all-out war starting on October 10 across all platforms; ensure your squad is ready to lock and load for launch, and you’ll be ready for all the in-season action that is only in Battlefield.


Battlefield 6 also launches with an all-new and improved iteration of Portal – the creative toolset that lets you redraw the lines of war. Portal is more powerful and streamlined than ever before, giving players brand new tools to create completely unique content called Community Experiences. Ambitious post-launch support will continue to add more modes, maps, weapons, and other features to the game on a consistent basis.

Battlefield 6 will launch with a robust package of multiplayer modes and maps, taking the fight around the world from Egypt, to Gibraltar and the streets of New York. Each map features multiple combat zones, hand-crafted and tailored to suit specific modes, ensuring each fight is designed to compliment the player experience and provide a variety of play options. Fan favorite multiplayer modes return in Battlefield 6, with classic staples making an appearance, including Conquest, Breakthrough, and Rush. Players will also experience a host of fast-paced and intense first-person shooter staples, including Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, Domination and King of the Hill. While a brand new mode called Escalation sees two teams fight to capture strategic control points. 

Battlefield 6 is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam / Epic Games Store) on October 10, 2025.
