Battlefield 6 Rogue Ops
Rogue Ops arrives October 28, kicking off Battlefield 6 Season 1. This first phase includes three new weapons, a new map, a vehicle, a Multiplayer mode, attachments, and more.
The new map is Blackwell Fields, a recommissioned American air base in the California badlands. Strikepoint will arrive as well, a new 4v4 team tactical mode with only one life per player each round.
Battlefield 6 California Resistance
California Resistance is the second major update for Season 1, and it’s releasing on November 18, 2025. You’ll be able to jump into the all-new Eastwood map and try out two new weapons. Sabotage is a limited-time mode that’s for 8v8 teams. Destroy as many possible sites before the round time finishes. Battle Pickups are high-tech weaponry that are limited in ammo and available throughout a given Battlefield 6 map, and they’ll be available as part of this update. The two new weapons are the DB-12 Shotgun and the M327 Trait sidearm.
Battlefield 6 Winter Offensive
Finally, the Winter Offensive update arrives on December 9, 2025. This final phase of Season 1 adds a winter variant of Empire State, as well as the Ice Lock limited-time event (this Limited Time Event is centered around a mechanic called Freeze, which is a gameplay modifier that is only active in specific experiences). The Ice Climbing Axe will also be added as a new Melee Weapon option.
