The next Battlefield game is targeting a release date before April 2026, according to the latest earnings report from Electronic Arts (EA), though the company's leadership is keeping things flexible in case this window becomes disadvantageous — perhaps due to a game like GTA 6 dropping around the same time.

We may not end up playing the next Battlefield game this year, even if that's what most of us are counting on.

There's a new Battlefield game on the way, due to release by early 2026, though EA is ready to shift if needed, likely due to GTA 6.
