Battlefield 6 Dev Explains Why Seasons Don’t Launch With More Maps

by

During a recent GameSpot interview, Battlefield 6 producer Alexia Christofi discussed the game’s plans for content after it launched. She specifically talked about how often new maps will be released.

Battlefield 6 launched in October 2025, bringing the popular series back after a four-year break. It received much better reviews than the previous game, scoring an average of 83 from top critics on OpenCritic and earning a recommendation from 90% of reviewers. Four months after release, the game has entered its second season of new content. The first season added a free-to-play battle royale mode called RedSec, along with new weapons, vehicles, and two new maps. Now, Season 2 is here with its own set of new weapons and a brand-new map, with another map planned to arrive on March 17th.

When looking at post-launch content, Battlefield 6 currently offers less than some of its rivals, like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Black Ops 7, which came out a month after Battlefield 6, is already well into its second season and has added a significant amount of new content. Since launching in November 2025, Black Ops 7 has introduced seven completely new maps, four updated classic maps, and two limited-time maps. They plan to add two more new maps and three returning favorites before Season 2 ends. While Call of Duty maps are smaller and designed for fewer players than those in Battlefield 6, Black Ops 7 has released 11 maps overall, compared to just three for Battlefield 6. Both games have also added new maps for their battle royale modes, adding to the overall content available.

In a recent GameSpot interview, Battlefield 6 producer Alexia Christofi discussed the number of new maps planned for each season after the game launches. While the team would ideally like to create a lot more maps, Christofi explained that limited time and resources mean they’re focusing on delivering content as quickly as possible.

A recent online discussion has focused on how many developers are still actively working on Battlefield 6 as new seasonal content is released. Before the game launched, four studios—DICE, Ripple Effect, Motive, and Criterion Games—collaborated under the Battlefield Studios umbrella (previously five, before Ridgeline Games closed in February 2024). However, it’s currently unknown exactly how many of these studios, or how many developers in total, are still involved with Battlefield 6.

More content is coming to Battlefield 6 on March 17th, including the Hagental Base map, a new Nightfall event, two new weapons, and a motorbike. The last update for Battlefield 6 Season 2 will arrive on April 14th, featuring the Operation Augur limited-time mode, a new vehicle, and improvements to Battlefield Portal.

Christofi stated that Zampella’s impact will continue to be felt, adding, “We want to make him proud.” She also noted that Bryon Beede, the current general manager of Battlefield, has taken on Zampella’s leadership style, but decisions about future leadership are being made by those higher up in the company.
