Electronic Arts has confirmed that the next Battlefield game will be revealed
this summer, ahead of a launch date some time before April 2026. The news was
shared in the companyΓÇÖs Q4 and and financial year 2025 results, published
this week.

EA CEO Andrew Wilson called the latest installment in the long-running first-
person shooter series a ΓÇ£pivotal step in delivering on our next generation
of blockbuster entertainmentΓÇ¥ and recommitted to a previously announced
FY26 release window for the currently untitled game. That means it canΓÇÖt
launch any later than March 2026, when EA's fiscal year ends.

A launch date before April next year would mean the new Battlefield game will
get a bit of room to breathe before the recently delayed Grand Theft Auto 6,
which is supposed to arrive on May 26, 2026. Like every other publisher on
the planet, EA has likely factored GTA 6 into its own upcoming launch plans
for a number of titles. Eurogamer reported earlier this year that Wilson had
admitted a willingness to delay games in order to get out of the way of the
(unnamed, but heavily implied) competition.

The most recent Battlefield game was 2021ΓÇÖs Battlefield 2042, to which EA
has steadily added new content. Back in February, EA launched Battlefield
Labs, a community testing initiative that allows registered fans to playtest
and give feedback on series fundamentals such as combat, destruction,
vehicles and map designs.

EA also confirmed in an investor call that it currently has no plans to
increase the price of its games, following the recent Xbox price hike and
Nintendo making the decision to charge a whopping $80 for Mario Kart World on
its upcoming Switch 2.
