Battlefield 6 potential release date gets leaked
With the announcement of Battlefield 6 coming up shortly, the actual release date of the game might have been revealed by a leaker. BF6 is right now one of the most anticipated gaming titles and it is quite obvious keeping in mind a four year long gap in the Battlefield series. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Not only that, the last installment in the series, Battlefield 2042 was an absolute disaster. So, fans are really hoping to compensate for their experience from the last time. And with a potential release date leaked, the anticipation is reaching a whole new level now. Battlefield 6's probable release date is closer than you expect Recently, DICE has announced that on July 24, 2025, Battlefield 6 will officially be announced by a reveal trailer. Also, the developers have confirmed that they are thinking about hosting an open-beta playtesting phase who have missed their spots in the Battlefield Labs closed playtests and according to rumor, this upcoming playtest might be happening in the immediate next month. All of these signs are pointing towards only one thing - the release of Battlefield 6 is a lot closer than you expect. EA previously confirmed that BF6 was going to be released by March 2026. But due to GTA 6's imminent launch in 2026 or due to some other reasons, EA has shifted BF6's launch to 2025. Now a popular group of Battlefield dataminers named 1BF has claimed that Battlefield 6 is going to be launched on October 10, 2025. Despite avoiding the hype train of GTA 6 in 2026, if Battlefield 6 gets released in October, it will still clash with the likes of Ghost of Yotei and ARC Raiders, which hold a substantial amount of anticipation among the fans. That is why the dataminers have alerted the fans that the October 10 date 'may still be postponed' and advised us not to take this date as '100% truth.' Besides a potential release date, the datamining group has shared additional details about Battlefield 6. Just like its predecessor Battlefield 2042's Ultimate Edition, BF6 will have a Phantom Edition. The dataminers also claimed that Russian language might not be available in the upcoming game, because they didn't find any mention of that in their set of in-game data files which they were accessing.

Battlefield 6 release date and open beta details leak ahead of reveal trailer
EA has announced a trailer for Battlefield 6 will drop later this week, but dataminers have already unearthed several key details. After a streamer leaked the game's title earlier this week, EA has confirmed Battlefield 6 will be officially revealed on Thursday, July 24. The upcoming shooter, which has been subject to various gameplay leaks via player tests, will receive a trailer on July 24 at 3.57pm BST. At the time of writing, just over 2,000 people are in the waiting room on YouTube. In its brief announcement video for the reveal, EA also shared the game's key art which features a New York backdrop. Following this announcement, dataminers have been crawling through the EA app to find further details, and one leaker may have stumbled on the release date. According to dataminer 1BF, the 'current' release date for Battlefield 6 is October 10, 2025. However, they warn this date 'can still be postponed' and it might not be the '100% truth' as it was discovered in a place 'where we should not have seen it'. If true, the date does line-up with the release strategy of recent Battlefield titles. The past two entries, Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 5 both came out in November in 2021 and 2018 respectively, while 2016's Battlefield 1 was released on October 21.

The October 10 date also puts it ahead of the blast radius of its direct competitor Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7, which is rumoured to come out on November 14, 2025 according to leaker TheGhostOfHope. The same dataminer claims Battlefield 6 will have a 'Phantom Edition'. It's unclear what this will include but it's likely to involve being able to play the game a number of days early. Pre-orders will also apparently open on July 31, which is the same date as another reported reveal event for the shooter. According to a previous report on Insider Gaming, content creators have been sent a Battlefield 6 care package which they can open from July 24, the same date as the aforementioned reveal trailer. This package will apparently announce another reveal date for Thursday, July 31, when gameplay and developer interviews will be released, after a two-day media hands-on event starting from July 29. It's a confusing rollout but we imagine the release date could be revealed somewhere around this window or, if not, we'll probably get details of the open beta at least. Earlier this week, in weirdly casual fashion, EA announced Battlefield 6 will get an open beta, confirming it will have options to play matches where any weapon can be used with any class – or the opposite for purists. A post on the official Battlefield account on X reads: 'Open weapons vs. closed weapons. Why not both? Starting at open beta players can choose official playlists with signature weapons locked to class, or not. More to come.' Open Weapons vs Closed WeaponsWhy not both?Starting at Open Beta players can choose official playlists with Signature Weapons locked to class, or to come. — Battlefield (@Battlefield) July 21, 2025 While EA hasn't shared any details yet on when this open beta will start, dataminers in the EA app have found a 'build publication date' scheduled for August 4, 2025. While not technically a release date according to one Reddit user, it's a sign the open beta could follow soon afterwards. More Trending There's a lot riding on Battlefield 6, after its predecessor Battlefield 2042 was a financial flop for EA. The sequel is being co-developed under a new 'Battlefield Studios' umbrella consisting of four studios, namely DICE, the main developer of previous games in the series, Criterion, Motive, and Ripple Effect. The latter is rumoured to be working on a battle royale spin-off akin to Call Of Duty: Warzone. While it's likely we'll get a specific release date later this month, EA previously confirmed Battlefield 6 will launch sometime before March 2026.
