EA has finally revealed information on Battlefield 6 Season 1, and it’s shaping up to be a packed few months for fans of large-scale chaos and environmental destruction. The season officially begins on October 28, 2025, shortly after the game’s launch, and will bring a steady flow of fresh maps, weapons, and modes right through to December.
From what’s been seen in the beta, destructible environments and class-based gameplay are front and center again. EA has also outlined a detailed plan with new maps, weapons, and even a returning game mode that fans have been asking for. Whether you’re in it for the large-scale warfare or smaller tactical fights, the new season has enough to keep you busy through the end of the year.

Three new maps lined up before December
Season 1 starts strong with three maps arriving in quick succession. First comes Blackwell Fields on October 28. It’s expected to be a large open map with multiple capture zones, ideal for both vehicle and infantry combat.
After this, on November 18, players get Eastwood, a more urban setting that pushes close-quarters fighting. The final addition for the year is Winter Offensive on December 9, bringing icy terrain, harsh weather, and plenty of vertical combat.
These maps will be in rotation through existing and new game modes, offering different types of combat each time. Players who miss the classic large-scale feel of older Battlefield titles will likely appreciate how Season 1’s layout keeps battles fluid and unpredictable.
New modes return to Battlefield’s roots
Battlefield 6 is bringing back modes that make teamwork matter again. The two headline additions for Season 1 are Strikepoint and Sabotage.
Strikepoint arrives with the launch on October 28, focused on territory control and squad coordination. It’s designed to encourage quick flanking moves and defense-building around objectives.
Then comes Sabotage on November 18, a mode centered around planting and protecting explosives. It’s smaller in scale but intense, with constant back-and-forth fighting.
Both modes will tie into the overall progression system, rewarding players for sticking with their classes and objectives. EA seems to be steering the game back toward its original formula, where tactics and teamwork matter more than flashy kill counts.
Weapons and gear updates
Weapons are rolling out in three waves. The launch day lineup adds the SOR-300SC, GGH-22, and Mini Scout, giving players more flexibility between long-range and stealth loadouts. November 18 expands the arsenal with the DB-12 shotgun and M357 Trait sidearm.
Finally, December 9 delivers the Ice Climbing Axe, a hybrid melee and traversal tool that fits the winter theme of the last update.
The attachments list is just as interesting. Rail Cover and IPV0 launch with the game, while the Troy Angled grip lands mid-season. These items will help fine-tune weapon builds, letting players experiment more with accuracy and recoil control.
Vehicles, features, and the Ice Lock event
At launch, players will meet a new ride: the Traverser Mark 2, a light vehicle made for both speed and defense. It’s built to handle rough terrain, which fits perfectly with the destructible maps EA is promoting.
Mid-season brings the Battle Pickups feature on November 18. This lets players find powerful limited-use weapons scattered around the map, adding a new layer of risk and reward. The season ends on a high note with the Ice Lock event on December 9. It ties in with the Winter Offensive map and may include timed challenges, limited cosmetics, and community-wide goals.
Season 1 sets the tone for what EA wants Battlefield 6 to be: chaotic, team-driven, and unpredictable from one match to the next.
