EA confirmed at the third fiscal quarter summary meeting of this fiscal year that the new "Battlefield" work is scheduled to be released in the next fiscal year - the statistical window for the new fiscal year ends on March 31, 2026. This new work that Battlefield fans are eagerly awaiting may follow tradition and be scheduled for October or November 2025.
In addition to the completion of the game affecting the schedule, another factor that cannot be ignored is the release date of the masterpieces of friends. Rockstar's parent company will announce its financial report and fiscal year schedule on the 6th. If the company does not mention "GTA6", there is a high probability that the game will be delayed and will not pose a threat to "Battlefield"; otherwise, EA will have to review the situation and avoid this behemoth when arranging the launch of new games.
GTA's traditional release date is September or October, and the new "Battlefield" can only succeed but not fail. In order to get all the favorable conditions at the right time and place, it is possible that EA will move it to release next spring.
It is known that DICE is responsible for the multiplayer part of the new "Battlefield"; Motive assists in the development of single-player content and multiplayer maps, with the mission of creating a movie-level "blockbuster experience"; Criterion focuses on the single-player campaign and is responsible for converting the plot into pictures; RippleEffect is responsible for developing "new experiences", and the mission is to imitate the free game of a friend, GaaS ace "Warzone", to attract more new players. The unit has confirmed that Battlefield Portal will return in the new Battlefield game.
The Battlefield community closed beta is currently in full swing in North America and Europe. After more servers are deployed, the number of invitees will increase to tens of thousands. In its statement, EA praised this model as not a small benefit but a great benefit, and the response exceeded expectations.
The closed beta environment called "BattlefieldLabs" allows players to communicate directly with DICE developers, making it possible to create the largest new "Battlefield" and the best launch condition.
