Battlefield Studios is officially unveiling the first post-launch season for Battlefield 6 today. We’re getting a trailer for Season 1, which we’ve technically known a few things about for a while.
Today, however, will bring us a first look at one of the new maps arriving with the new season.
Season 1 is set to launch on October 28 in Battlefield 6. The season is split into three stages, the first of which – Rogue Ops – is the one that will be hitting the game next week. Each release will bring new content to the game on somewhat of a monthly basis, with every season seemingly unfolding over different phases.
The biggest-ticket item of that first stage is, of course, the new Blackwell Fields map, which is what today’s trailer will show off for the first time – if you don’t count the Battlefield Labs leaks, because the map has been part of Labs testing for a while now.
Blackwell Fields is a large-scale map that includes land, and air vehicles. It takes place in an airbase in California, where large sections of the map are – true to the state’s nature – on fire.
Rogue Ops will also add a new mode seemingly inspired by Counter-Strike / Search and Destroy from Call of Duty. It’s called Strikepoint, and it’s a 4v4, single-life affair. Outside of maps and modes, BF6 is also getting a new Carbine – the SOR-300, a new Sniper Rifle – the Mini Fix, as well as a new Sidearm – the GGH-22, as part of the new season.
There’s also a new APC that will join the game’s existing roster of vehicles. Finally, you can look forward to two new attachments in that initial phase: the Rail Cover, and the Low Powered Variable Optic (LPVO).
