“There is speculation about an imminent Battlefield 6.” For a few hours, an unlisted video appeared in the official “BF6” playlist on the franchise’s YouTube account. No content is yet accessible, but the simple fact that it appears there was enough to revive hopes of an announcement in the days to come.
Season 1 is coming to an end with the “Winter Offensive” update, dated December 9, 2025, and a new roadmap is slow to be revealed. This vagueness aroused the curiosity of players, especially since a Reddit user published an explicit screenshot.
A hidden video on YouTube agitates the Battlefield community
It all started with a post from No_Band_5399 on the Battlefield subreddit. He shared a screenshot showing a private video added to the official Battlefield 6 playlist. “A new video was added to the BF6 playlist today and has been set to hidden.”
In the comments, fans are divided between impatience and skepticism. Some are hoping for a real trailer, others fear yet another disappointment or a simple teaser without major content. After a season 1 considered timid, the pressure is heavy on DICE’s shoulders.
Season 2 awaited at the turn by veterans
Frustration has been brewing for several seasons. “A lot depends on next season, although I don’t expect much because it has already been decided before the players give their opinion.” This reaction reflects a widespread feeling in the community: decisions would be made without taking into account feedback.
Others are ironic about the lack of concrete novelty. “I can’t wait to see the next drop-off. Maybe the fighter jets will get just one new type of ammunition? Wow!”
The still vivid memory of Battlefield 2042 weighs heavy
Some recall that initial promises did not always materialize. The case of Battlefield 2042 is often cited as a counter-example: “DICE was lynched by its community for having released only one map during almost all seasons of Battlefield 2042.” Season 2 of Battlefield 6 could therefore be decisive in restoring the studio’s image. Maps, vehicles, multiplayer features… everything is scrutinized. Players are demanding a return to the essence of the best games in the series.
A potential announcement, but still unclear
For the moment, no official communication has confirmed a reveal or a specific date. But the discovery of this hidden video, added to DICE’s silence since December, suggests that a trailer for season 2 – or even a first full preview of the game – could be revealed very soon. It remains to be seen whether the promise will live up to fans’ expectations.
