For the upcoming Season 2 of Battlefield 6, the developers have now released a cinematic trailer and announced gameplay for February 12, 2026. However, the community misses something crucial.
What does the new trailer show? In Season 2 of Battlefield 6, the focus is on an attack by Pax Armata on a NATO airbase “located in the mountains of Germany”. The toxic green smoke and the ubiquitous gas masks match the name of the new map: “Contaminated”.
On the new map, infantry will face off against ground and aerial vehicles, including the new “AH-6 Little Bird helicopter”. Season 2 is set to start on February 17, 2026. Developers are announcing another trailer for February 12, 2026, where gameplay will be shown for the first time. You can watch the already released trailer below:
“Where are the other maps?”
How does the community react to the first trailer? The mood in the Battlefield community has been rather negative lately. There aren’t enough new contents. Player numbers are dropping. The extension of the current Season 1 has only aggravated the situation. The first trailer for Season 2 highlights a major problem with Battlefield 6 even more:
- by_mosa writes on X: “4 studios, 1,000 developers and we get one new map? You can’t be serious.”
- derSegner agrees on X: “You better deliver 3+ new maps or your game will die.”
- dezmondOliver wishes for the old DLCs back on X: “These seasons are so stupid. Bring back the DLCs that everyone liked. 20 dollars. 4 maps. New weapons. New vehicles. New gadgets. Progressive unlocks for the weapons.”
- On YouTube, RoiDeCoeurs asks: “Where are the other maps?”
We could quote countless other comments of this kind. Do you remember the paid DLCs from Battlefield 3?
- Back to Karkand: 4 new maps, 3 vehicles, 10 weapons
- Close Quarters: 4 new maps, 10 new weapons, HD destruction, 1 new game mode
- Armored Kill: 4 new maps, many new vehicles, 1 new game mode
- Aftermath: 4 new maps, 3 new vehicles, 1 new gadget
- End Game: 4 new maps, 4 new vehicles
Sure, it was dumb that each DLC further divided the community – into players with DLCs and players without DLCs. However, the many new maps, vehicles, and weapons provided an enormous, lasting replay value that Battlefield 6 could desperately use right now. It is no surprise that some are nostalgic about EA’s old DLC politics.
Besides “Contaminated”, at least one more map has been announced for the foreseeable future of Battlefield 6. However, this is a remake of an old map: Battlefield 6 is getting a new, familiar map, causing disputes already, has already divided the community in the previous game
