Battlefield 6 has launched the final phase of Season 4 today with the Tidal Strike update, introducing a new Collection Event, fresh REDSEC content, expanded Portal modes and a week‑long free trial for new players.

Season 4’s Tidal Strike update is available now, bringing new playlists, limited‑time events and a push toward the season’s conclusion. The update spans Battlefield 6, Battlefield REDSEC and Portal, with several new activities rolling out over the next month.

From September 15th through to September 22nd, Battlefield will host a Free Trial, giving new players access to a curated selection of maps and modes. Wake Island, Tsuru Reef, Cairo Bazaar and Hagental Base will all be available, alongside Conquest, Escalation and the Deep Six Event Playlist. The trial runs parallel to a Double XP weekend, giving both new and returning players a chance to progress faster.

Top Gun has also been extended through to the end of Season 4. Carrier Strike and Fighter Sweep will remain active, giving players more time to jump into air‑focused combat across land, sea and sky. Portal is expanding too, with King of the Hill and Domination being added as Verified Modes, allowing players to build new custom experiences around them.

The update also introduces Phantom Program, a limited‑time REDSEC operation set within Fort Lyndon. Players will hunt for hidden intelligence and access‑code fragments scattered across the map. The mode blends exploration with high‑stakes combat, rewarding squads with XP, Weapon Packages and other items as they uncover pieces of a larger mystery.

Tidal Strike’s biggest addition is the Deep Six Collection Event, running until the 12th of October. Players will complete contracts and gather intel devices across Battlefield 6 and REDSEC to earn exclusive rewards. Completing the full event unlocks the Royal Navy Dive Knife skin. Finally, today’s update also marks the beginning of proximity chat testing within REDSEC, a feature players have been requesting since launch.

KitGuru Says: Season 4 is wrapping up with a packed update. Between Phantom Program, Deep Six and the free trial, Battlefield 6 players have plenty to jump into over the next few weeks.

The big Season 3 update for Battlefield 6 has dropped today. In phase one of the new season, fans will get access to two classic maps reimagined for Battlefield 6, alongside a new Ranked game mode to try out.

One of the new maps joining Battlefield 6 is actually the largest map in the series' history, as DICE looks to make up for the lack of new large-scale maps for the game since launch. The map is called Railway to Golmud, a reimagining of the Golmud Railway map from Battlefield 4, including the fully operational moving train, so watch out when near the tracks.

This update also sees the debut of Ranked Play. Launching in Battle Royale Quads in REDSEC, this is the introduction of Battlefield's new competitive framework. Ranked Seasons will feature a tiered ranking system from Rookie to Master, with a unique emblem for the top 250 players globally. Players earn Ranked Points through confirmed kills and assists, and final placement, with rewards such as player cards and titles to show off their prowess on the battlefield.

In June, Phase 2 will begin, bringing another reimagined map, a rework of Battlefield 3's Grand Bazaar. Other highlights from season 3 include a new Handheld Jammer gadget, and a brand-new Battle Pass.

KitGuru Says: Will you be jumping back into Battlefield 6 for the new season?

The post Battlefield 6 is adding its biggest map yet with Season 3 first appeared on KitGuru.

After what was a record-breaking launch, EA’s Battlefield 6 has failed to maintain its momentum, with the game’s post-launch support unable to match the expectations set by other live-service experiences. That said, EA and DICE are still committed to the project, with the team now teasing their full 2026 roadmap.

Taking to YouTube to release a 6-minute dev talk (also detailed via their blog), the team at Battlefield Studios offered an early taste at everything fans can expect to look forward to throughout the rest of 2026.

While the live-service FPS has been off to a bit of a slow start with its first two post-launch Seasons, the rest of the year should hopefully be more feature-rich with 3 more Seasons in total scheduled for 2026.

Though we of course have not been given a full breakdown of everything to expect, Season 3 of Battlefield 6 is set to introduce:

• Railway to Golmud map
• Cairo Bazaar map
• Ranked Play 
• Battle Royale solos

Season 4 meanwhile will add:

• Tsuru Reef map
• Wake Island map
• Aircraft carriers with operational flight decks
• New naval vehicles
• Dynamic wave system
• Custom lobbies
• Spectator mode

2026 will conclude with the arrival of Season 5, though details on what to expect remain light; with the team simply sharing a teaser image for what appears to be a flamethrower of sorts.

Outside of new content, 2026 will also introduce many different quality-of-life improvements, including:

• A server browser with persistent servers
• Multiplayer leaderboards
• Platoons
• Proximity Chat
• Visibility enhancements
• Progression changes
• Map reworks

In the past few months sentiment surrounding Battlefield 6 has taken a drastic fall, and so while many of these additions likely should have been available since its initial launch, it is welcome nonetheless to see that BF Studios are trying to turn the game into what was originally promised/expected.

KitGuru says: What do you think of the roadmap? Is this enough to get you to come back? Which feature are you most looking forward to? Let us know down below.
