EA suggests Battlefield 6 will release in 2021

4.1
The Battlefield 6 release date will fall in calendar year 2021, publisher EA implied on Tuesday.

Developer DICE revealed last week that it’s currently working on the final new content update for Battlefield 5, and said on Tuesday that it’s “vision for Star Wars Battlefront II is now complete” with this week’s release of The Battle on Scarif update.

Wrapping up work on those two games means the Sweden-based studio’s increasingly shifting its focus to the next entry in the Battlefield series.

EA CFO Blake Jorgensen said in October 2019 that the Battlefield 6 release date would fall during EA’s fiscal 2022, which runs from April 2021 until March 2022, a launch window that was reiterated on the company’s most recent quarterly earnings call in January.

But the game’s release window was seemingly narrowed to between April and December of calendar year 2021 in a statement issued to VGC on Tuesday.

“The team at DICE is working on the standalone Battlefield V update releasing this summer, and continuing their work on delivering Community Games,” said an EA spokesperson.

“While the studio’s vision for Star Wars Battlefront II is now complete with this week’s The Battle on Scarif Update, the servers, in-game challenges, recurring events and game support will continue as the game lives on with players and the community. We’re looking forward to hearing players’ stories for both games, for years to come.

“Longer term, the studio is focused on the future of Battlefield that we’ll be bringing to players in 2021.”

Released in November 2018, Battlefield V was the second consecutive series entry to focus on the World Wars of the early 20th century. Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 both focused on modern day military combat.

EA also announced on Tuesday that it’s bringing five games to Stadia, including Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, FIFA and Madden titles in 2021.

My hopes are high for this next one that it will be good. Not like the last BF....

Kixa A Modern Battlefield will bring this franchise back on top but we'll see what happens.


Fingers crossed but I feel like they will fail, they have just constantly been going downhill since the release of BF4....

Paws I'm a BF fan through and through but the last two games have just been meh for me. I really wanna see a modern one, something like BF3 would be great.


I think this is the majority for this as well, I feel like BF are losing fans by doing the wrong things, hopefully they will listen to the community and come up with something great.

If they **** up like bf 5 then all of the dedicated fans won't stick around. Hopefully that gives them a little motivation.

Pretty much got battlefield 6 right now in the name of Modern Warfare. Not a fan of either to be completely honest. I'll probably end up playing it anyway lmao.
