00:03As the struggle between NATO and PAX Armada unfolds on Battlefield servers around the world,
00:08we wanted to take a moment to share our vision for the future of Battlefield 6 and RedSec directly with
00:14you.
00:14We're here to lay out where the year ahead takes us, from maps and modes to features that we know
00:19you've been asking for.
00:20But first, we wanted to thank you for all of the feedback and your passion for Battlefield.
00:27Watching you play Season 2's Contaminated and Häagenthal Base highlights the amazing ingenuity and creative ways our community plays in
00:34our Battlefield sandbox.
00:37But today is about looking ahead at what you can expect from Battlefield 6 and RedSec during the rest of
00:422026.
00:44Season 3 arrives this May, and listen, we've heard your feedback about the kind of map experience you want in
00:50Battlefield loud and clear.
00:52And that is why Season 3 opens with our reimagining of a classic Battlefield 4 map, Railway to Goldberg,
01:00which will be the biggest map in Battlefield 6 yet, nearly four times the size of Mirak Valley.
01:07Set within Tajikistan after the events of the campaign, this fan favorite has been optimized to match Battlefield 6's visual
01:14quality and gameplay.
01:16This means we're introducing new cover, larger aerial spaces, and more opportunities for strategic play when it comes to close
01:23-order combat and long-range engagement.
01:27We've already begun testing Goldmud in labs.
01:30From sightlines to vehicle balance to time to kill to cover and more, we already have a lot of feedback
01:35to get the map ready for Season 3's launch next month.
01:37And we can't wait for you to get your hands on Battlefield 6's biggest map yet.
01:42And later in the season, another legendary map arrives.
01:46Cairo Bazaar, our updated take on Battlefield 3's Grand Bazaar.
01:52This map is a post-bounding experience with fierce firefights in tight alleyways and buildings designed for deadly ambushes that
02:00highlight our signature destruction.
02:02As part of Season 3, we'll be introducing Battle Royale solos as an official mode as well as the beginning
02:08of our Ranked Play experience.
02:10We're incredibly excited to bring Ranked Play first to Battle Royale quads in RedSec.
02:19We're looking forward to getting your feedback and building this experience with you in and out of Battlefield Labs.
02:25Ranked Play's debut in Season 3 sets the stage for this thrilling competitive experience that will not only evolve in
02:31future seasons, but expand to other modes, including Battlefield 6 multiplayer, as we build new ways to showcase your skills
02:37in Battlefield.
02:39In July, Season 4 will arrive.
02:42And with it, we'll now have land, air and sea balance.
02:47That's right, naval warfare is coming to both Battlefield 6 and RedSec.
02:51As you take the fight to the Pacific, you'll experience a new naval-focused map called Suhu Reef, even larger
02:58than Goldman, with gigantic air and sea spaces that will begin testing in labs soon.
03:04And that's not all for Season 4. We also have the return to Wake Island, one of the most celebrated
03:11maps in the series' history.
03:14Aircraft carriers with operational flight decks, new naval-based vehicles, a dynamic wave system that makes ocean combat even more
03:21intense, and of course, naval-based challenges with exclusive rewards.
03:27We'll begin testing Season 4's new maps in Battlefield Labs soon. Can't wait to hear what you think.
03:34Since launch, we've heard of several features you'd like to see in Battlefield 6 and RedSec.
03:39We plan on bringing these to you this year, alongside a sea of ongoing quality of life updates and combat
03:45improvements to make sure Battlefield rewards your passion for the series.
03:48We'll give you more details as we begin testing them in labs to gather your feedback.
03:52But today, I can confirm a server browser with persistent servers to give you even more options to host and
03:59play your preferred experiences, as well as custom pre-game lobbies.
04:02Leaderboards, to show which players are dominating the world of Battlefield.
04:06Spectator mode, so you can sit back and watch your squad in action or cast the action live as it
04:12unfolds.
04:12The return of platoons, so you and your squad can connect and play together more efficiently.
04:18Proximity chat, which gives you even more ways to communicate with your squad.
04:22And the ability to eavesdrop on enemies to make tactical power plays.
04:27We're also dedicated to doing a rework pass on two maps, New Sobek and Lackwell Fields, using BioFill Labs to
04:34help raise the quality bar on both based on your feedback.
04:39And after we've worked with you to evolve rank play in Battle Royale, we'll deliver the Elite and Open Series
04:45as promised.
04:47The pinnacle of competition in Battlefield.
04:50Today, I can also confirm that as a holiday surprise, we'll be dropping a third map into Season 5.
04:56You'll have to wait to learn about them, but I will say that the roadmap does offer a hint of
05:01where you'll be fighting.
05:04We have so much amazing content coming across all these seasons.
05:07Massive maps to bring Battlefield's brand of chaos to life.
05:10The return of naval warfare so you can experience land, sea, and air battles.
05:14Requested features will launch and continue to build alongside you like Rank Play and Server Browser, and the launch of
05:20the Open and Elite Competitive Series.
05:22All of this alongside our commitment to continue to evolve and make the core gameplay experience in Battlefield even better.
05:28We have a ton of details on weapons, gadgets, and vehicles you will get to master.
05:32We even have a few surprises we can't spoil today.
05:35I hope this sneak peek of what we have coming in 2026 has you as pumped as everybody working across
05:40Battlefield Studios.
05:41We're committed to evolving Battlefield. We can't wait to take you on that journey this year and beyond.
05:59You are the first enemy when you're destroying the engine.
