Battlefield 6 Reportedly Launching October 10 Amid Growing Hype

The release date for Battlefield 6 is rumored to be October 10, according to a recent leak from the reliable dataminer group 1BF. While not yet officially confirmed by Electronic Arts, the claim has added fuel to the growing excitement around the game’s upcoming launch.

Hype around Battlefield 6 has been steadily building in recent weeks, with the official reveal trailer set to premiere on Thursday, July 24. As marketing efforts intensify, fans have already seen a leaked promotional package, and EA has confirmed that an open beta is in development, offering a chance to play for those who missed out on the Battlefield Labs closed playtests.

Open Beta and Phantom Edition Leak

Although there's no official word on when the open beta will begin, insider rumors suggest a potential start as early as August 4.

The same leak also revealed the existence of a "Phantom Edition" — a special version of the game likely comparable to Battlefield 2042’s Ultimate Edition. However, specific content or bonuses tied to this edition have yet to be detailed.

Why an October Release Makes Sense

The rumored October 10 launch date aligns well with EA’s past release strategies. Previous mainline Battlefield entries followed a similar pattern:

• Battlefield 4 — October 29
• Battlefield 1 — October 21
• Battlefield V — November 20
• Battlefield 2042 — November 19

Given this trend, an October release for Battlefield 6 fits EA’s historical timing for the franchise.

Caution: Take the Rumor Lightly — for Now

While 1BF has a track record of accurate Battlefield leaks — including gameplay elements, concept art, and early testing info — the group cautioned fans not to take the release date leak as “100% truth.” They stressed that the launch window could shift and that final confirmation may come with the July 24 trailer, set to debut at 8 AM PT.

There’s also the outside chance that EA could surprise fans with a shadow drop, although a formal release announcement remains the more likely path.
