Battlefield 6 Season 2 Has Been Postponed by Electronic Arts

Battlefield 6 gamers expected they would be able to play the game’s Season 2 this month, as the initial release date was planned for January 21. However, the developers have announced the delay of the upcoming expansion to last year’s first-person shooter.

An official statement from Electronic Arts was published on the game’s subreddit, where they revealed Season 2 for Battlefield 6 and Battlefield REDSEC is now set to release on February 17, as you can check below:

"Thank you to the Battlefield community for your feedback and support since the launch of Battlefield 6 and our all-new free-to-play destination built on Battlefield’s iconic DNA, REDSEC. Last year, our franchise received an unprecedented amount of support: millions of players returned to Battlefield or joined us for the first time during the most successful launch in Battlefield history.

That launch included a commitment to providing monthly content-rich updates for our players. After delivering a packed Season 1 in 2025, including the surprise launch of REDSEC, a battle on the homefront with California Resistance, the year-ending festive Winter Offensive event, as well as deploying several patches, we head into the new year excited about what's next.

During our ongoing development, we've continued to review community feedback and, in order to keep our promise, determined that our best path forward is to extend Season 1 and give ourselves extra time to further polish and refine Season 2.

Season 1 will be extended past its in-game end date of January 20, and we will launch Season 2 on February 17. The Season 1 extension update to Battlefield 6 and REDSEC will be released on January 20, which will include new weekly challenges, a Bonus Path, and a continuation of the Season 1 Battle Pass until the start date of Season 2.

We are also reinforcing Battlefield Labs as the public preview for future game updates in the late stages of development. Both the Season 1 extension and the use of Battlefield Labs will set the foundation for new and exciting content throughout our live seasons, including what will come in Season 2.

We look forward to sharing more details about Season 2 in February and a greater 2026 roadmap for Battlefield 6 and REDSEC in the near future."

Obviously, Battlefield 6 users must have been disappointed with this delay, and the game could not have the best time right now. According to a recent report, since its launch last October, the game has lost approximately 90% of the players on Steam, and with the delay of Season 2, it seems like the situation will not be fixed soon.
