After the gaming world was swept up by the release of Battlefield 6, developer DICE was prepared to ship more content fairly quickly for its new juggernaut release. In October, Season 1 arrived to the game shipping new content including maps, weapons, and modes. Most notably is the surprise release of its battle royale ‘RedSec’ which arrives on the latter end of the first season.

Just last month, DICE also spoke openly on the content plans for Battlefield 6 moving forward. Season 1 would be extended with plans for Season 2 set to arrive in mid February. This gives the team more time to finely tune the update schedule for its content. And, the recent passing of Vince Zampella also likely played a part as he was a pivotal individual in Battlefield 6’s development and certainly for its post-launch as well.

Just this past week, DICE spoke out on Season 2 offering the structure for the new wave of content coming to Battlefield 6 well into April later this spring. This includes new maps, additions to the arsenal, vehicles, game modes, and even Operations that will go live in the lobbies too.

“Season 2 will be released in 3 phases: Extreme Measures, Nightfall, and Hunter/ Prey, featuring high-intensity maps, critical gadgets, iconic new hardware, and vehicles for waging the ultimate all-out war experience. Season 2 later sees the limited-time mode Operation Augur, where the stakes are high and strategy is crucial – driving squads to get to the frontline and secure the win. 

“The first phase for Season 2, Extreme Measures, takes the thrill of all-out war to another level, introducing VL-7 psychoactive smoke, distorting the battlefield with its non-lethal  hallucinogenic effects, as well as new expansive map Contaminated, to be released in Battlefield 6, along with 3 new weapons, 2 new gadgets, and the return of the legendary AH-6 Little Bird in both games.”
