Electronic Arts has unveiled the projected release timeframe for the next Battlefield game. Their financial report indicates a launch before April 2026.
Industry insider Tom Henderson, analyzing EA's historical release schedules, predicts an October or November 2025 launch for the new Battlefield title. However, EA remains tight-lipped on precise release dates.
Development is underway across four of EA's internal studios, with significant playtesting planned. A closed beta program has already been announced, giving select players early access to core gameplay elements. Feedback gathered from these tests will inform the final product before its public release.
This announcement also clarifies the future of the Need for Speed franchise. Vince Zampella previously indicated that a new NFS title is not imminent, prioritizing the development of this new Battlefield installment.
