The season 4 of Battlefield 6 will start in July and will feature naval warfare, whole new maps and one of the highly requested feature from the community in the form of Proximity Chat which will allow “a new layer of communication and tension into the Battlefield sandbox to create more emergent moments between squads, especially when positioning and awareness are key to how you play.”
The naval warfare itself is a huge draw for the upcoming season in Battlefield 6 and will likely push the envelope of massive scale warfare in ways we’ve never seen before in a videogame.
There will be two new maps titled Tsuru Reef (a map set within a massive oceanfront space, surrounded by island terrain, beaches and lots of open water) and Wake Island which is a highly tweaked and reworked version of the Battlefield 5 map. Plus, there will also be drivable boats so you can experience all the action and chaos in Battlefield 6’s naval warfare with breakneck intensity.
Battlefield Studios have laid out all the changes and updates coming to EA’s flagship shooter in it’s new season via a detailed community post, which also outlines another highly requested feature from the community named Server browsers. And according to the devs, it’ll finally arrive in Battlefield 6 with the Season 5 update which is scheduled to launch sometimes in fall 2026.
Battlefield 6 is currently in it’s third season with the second phase of contents ready to roll out next week with the Blastpoint update.
However, one of the biggest highlights of the upcoming season in Battlefield 6 is the Tsuru Reef map which is touted to be even bigger than Railway to Golmud–currently the largest map in the game. And coupled with naval warfare that’s almost guaranteed to pull in both older and newer players back into the game, the declining player counts in Battlefield 6 could easily see a resurgence in it’s fourth season.
