EA confirmed the release window of the new Battlefield

Electronic Arts has confirmed a pre-April 2026 release window for the next Battlefield game, according to their recent financial report. While industry journalist Tom Henderson predicts an October or November 2025 launch based on EA's historical release patterns, the company remains tight-lipped on specific dates.

Development is underway across four of EA's internal studios, with significant playtesting planned. A closed beta program is already in progress, gathering crucial feedback to shape the final product before launch. This extensive testing phase underscores EA's commitment to delivering a polished and refined shooter experience.

This Battlefield project's priority is also impacting other franchises. Vince Zampella previously indicated that fans shouldn't anticipate a new Need for Speed game in the near future, highlighting the focus on this major Battlefield title.
