The first batch of seasonal Battlefield 6 post-release content will arrive 28th October, a few weeks after the game’s 10th October launch, EA has announced. It’ll bring new modes, new maps, new weapons, and more. And it’ll be free.
“All gameplay-impacting features will be free or earnable as part of our commitment to fair play and access for all players,” a press release says. And a blog on the game’s website has “free post launch content” emblazoned across a promotional image.

Battlefield 6 Season 1 will unfold in three phases. The first phase will arrive on 28th October and be known as Rogue Ops, and it’ll introduce a new four-versus-four mode called Strikepoint, in which you’ll only get one life per round; a new map called Blackwell Fields, which looks like an oil-field but is apparently a recommissioned American air base; three new weapons, a new APC, and some new weapon attachments.

The second phase, dubbed California Resistance, will land on 18th November, and bring a new eight-versus-eight mode called Sabotage, in which you have one round each on offence and defence, to see how many sites you can blow up; and a new Southern California map called Eastwood, which is a sleepy affluent suburb turned warzone; two new weapons and more.

The third and final phase will drop on 9th December and bring a winter-themed and limited time Ice Lock event based around a mechanic called Freeze, appropriately enough; and a seasonal update to the Empire State map.
