Electronic Arts has officially announced the anticipated release window for the highly anticipated next installment of the Battlefield series. As mentioned in the company’s latest financial report, the game is scheduled to launch before April 2026.
Veteran gaming journalist Tom Henderson shared his insights, predicting that the title might debut in October or November 2025, following EA’s typical release trends. Although EA has yet to confirm any specific dates, anticipation continues to build among fans.
The development process involves four of EA’s internal studios, who are currently gearing up for significant playtesting phases. In a recent announcement, the team revealed plans for a closed beta program designed to let select players test core features of the game. Their feedback will play a crucial role in fine-tuning the final product before its official launch.
This announcement also provides insight into the future of the Need for Speed franchise. Vince Zampella noted that fans shouldn’t expect a new NFS game anytime soon, as the Battlefield project is taking precedence within the company.
