Battlefield 6 Season 1 Roadmap
Season 1 runs from late October through probably mid-January 2026. You’re getting two full new maps, two limited-time modes, five new guns, one new vehicle, several attachments, and a seasonal map update. Here is the schedule:
| Content | Release Date |
|---|---|
| Rogue Ops | October 28th, 2025 |
| California Resistance | November 18th, 2025 |
| Winter Offensive | December 9th, 2025 |
All the gameplay stuff is free. No paying for weapons or maps that give you an advantage. Everything that affects how you play is either free or something you can earn just by playing.
The content comes at a steady pace, so there’s always something new to try every few weeks. And since all the important stuff is free, you won’t feel left behind if you don’t buy anything. Now, let’s take a detailed look at what you can expect from each update.
Battlefield 6 Rogue Ops
This is the biggest update of the three, launching on October 28th, 2025. You’re getting a ton of content right off the bat:
Blackwell Fields Map
This map takes place on a US air base out in the California badlands. It’s a big one that supports all vehicle types. If you haven’t learned how to fly yet, now’s probably a good time to practice because you’ll want those flying skills here.
Strikepoint Mode
It’s a 4v4 mode, and each player only gets one life per round. You’re fighting over one central objective across multiple rounds. It’s intense and punishes mistakes, so you’ll need good teamwork and communication to win.
APC Traverser Mark 2
A new 4-seater armored personnel carrier. One person drives, one shoots from the roof, and two more can gun from the sides.
New Weapons
- SOR-300C Carbine
- Mini Fix Sniper Rifle
- GGH-22 Pistol
You’re also getting attachments like a Rail Cover and a Low Powered Variable Optic (LPVO) that works on various rifles and LMGs. These are just the first of several attachments coming after launch.
Battlefield 6 California Resistance
The second update, coming on November 18th, is all about liberating Southern California from enemy agents.
Eastwood Map
This one’s set in a fancy suburb with big houses and a golf course. You can drive tanks through mansions and fight over the greens. It supports land vehicles and helicopters.
Sabotage Mode
This is an 8v8 attack and defend mode. Your team gets one round to attack and one to defend. When you’re attacking, you need to blow up as many sites as possible before time runs out. Whoever destroys more sites wins.
Battle Pickups
Like in older Battlefield games, these are powerful weapons hidden around the map that anyone can grab. You’ll need to explore and remember where they spawn if you want to get them before the other team does.
New Weapons
- DB-12 Shotgun
- M327 Trait Revolver
You will also get a Slim Handstop attachment, which is another underbarrel grip option to give you more variety in how you kit out your guns.
Battlefield 6 Winter Offensive
The final update for Season 1 is going to be released on December 9th, 2025. It is smaller but brings a cool seasonal vibe:
Ice Lock Empire State
The Empire State map gets covered in snow and ice. It’s just a visual update. The gameplay stays the same, but it looks pretty cool and fits the winter theme.
Ice Lock Event
This limited-time event introduces a “Freeze” gameplay modifier in certain modes. They haven’t explained exactly what it does yet, but it sounds like the cold weather will make things harder for your soldier somehow.
Ice Climbing Axe
The only new weapon this time is a melee tool. It’s an ice axe, though sadly you can’t actually use it to climb anything. Just for stabbing enemies and looking cool.
