Confirms expansion of Battlefield 6 maps, ensuring larger-scale combat in the complete game compared to the confined, disorderly skirmishes seen in the beta.
Get ready, Battlefield fans! The full launch of Battlefield 6 is scheduled for October 10, 2025, and it's bringing some exciting changes. While the first beta weekend featured smaller to medium maps, the game's developers have confirmed that larger maps will be a part of the experience at launch and beyond.
A Variety of Maps at Launch
According to leaks and developer statements, the full game will include nine maps, with Mirak Valley expected to be the largest. This expansive map is said to feature diverse terrain such as mountains and rivers, offering a vast playground for intense firefights.
Leaked images suggest that Mirak Valley could be approximately seven times the size of the beta map, Siege of Cairo, and Eastwood, another map, could be roughly four times larger. This indicates a significant increase in scale compared to the beta maps.
Balancing Performance and Scale
Dice's lead Battlefield producer, David Sirland, has confirmed that larger maps will be included in Battlefield 6. However, the smaller maps in the beta were likely chosen for technical optimization purposes. The full game aims to balance massive maps with performance, ensuring varied combat styles and larger battles without compromising on gameplay.
Some of the larger maps, such as Eastwood, might arrive post-launch during Season 1, adding more spacious environments and vehicles like boats and golf carts.
Recapturing the Battlefield Experience
David Sirland has mentioned that he picked the maps in the beta to demonstrate Battlefield 6's ability to handle fast-paced combat. However, he also acknowledged that smaller scale maps resulted in fights happening too quickly. The developers have promised a variety of map sizes and playstyles at launch, aiming to recapture the large-scale Battlefield experience the series is known for.
So, players can expect the larger map experience to become accessible with the full October launch of Battlefield 6, and to expand further with new maps in the seasons following launch.
