Battlefield 6 Season 2: Can EA Turn the Tide with New Maps and Faster Progression?
EA's Battlefield 6 Season 2 aims to reboot player trust with quality-of-life fixes and new content—just in time for the 2026 showdown.
The update, delayed until late 2025, extends Season 1 by nearly a month. EA confirmed Contaminated (Hagental Airbase, Germany) as the first new map, with a second "high-intensity" map in development.

Community feedback has driven changes: Battle Pass progression has been sped up, weapon recoil compensation overhauled, and frustrating challenges like sidearm-only kills removed.
EA said:
"Introduces a new element of tactics in the fight against Pax Armata."
Movement mechanics now include smoother vaulting and ladder transitions, while audio improvements focus on clearer movement cues. Ongoing work in Battlefield Labs targets netcode, hit registration, and ping systems.
