In an extensive community update to end the year on X, Battlefield Studios gave a little insight into what the development team is currently working on for the year ahead. According to the developer, the priority at the moment is “enhancing the core game, balancing and improving the quality of life”, but it's not all about reworking existing content. It also confirmed that it is developing new ones Battlefield 6 maps and weapons, with the intention of bringing “new tactical opportunities and keeping the experience evolving in a meaningful way”. These maps and weapons are likely preparing for a seasonal content drop throughout 2026.
