EA has just announced that Battlefield 6 Season 1 has been extended – which, more pertinently, means that the Season 2 release date has been delayed. The new season will land roughly a month after it was previously expected, which the publisher says will allow for more development time in order to address feedback from fans. "The first season will now run until the launch of Season 2 on February 17, with the Season 1 extension update being released on January 20," EA says in a press release. "This extended launch has been implemented to allow extra time to further develop and refine Season 2 as a result of community feedback." There are no details on what, specifically, is set to change with this extra development time. All Battlefield 6 Season 1 content and everything added post launch Battlefield 6 Season 1 is a compelling free content drop that should see the FPS through the disruptive release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Battlefield 6 Season 1 and Battle Royale RedSec rollout leaves fans feeling that EA is turning the FPS into a "soulless" Call of Duty clone: "I feel disgusted and downright sad!" EA's biggest offering for the extended Season 1 is the Frostfire bonus path, which you can complete concurrently with the Season 1 battle pass. This will unlock a weapon package, soldier skin, and some XP boosts. By all accounts, Battlefield 6's launch has been wildly successful, but some of that inevitable post-launch live-service malaise has already started to set in. Players are making AI accusations against "hollow and low effort" new artwork, the current selection of Battlefield 6 maps is starting to wear pretty thin, and balance issues have been drawing complaints for months. Here's hoping Season 2 can help set things back on track. Looking for the best Battlefield 6 guns and weapons? We've got you covered.
