Battlefield 6′s delayed season two arrives in February, and we finally know more about what to expect in the upcoming season. But EA also teased more of what’s to come beyond season two in a new update on Battlefield 6‘s future.

On January 21, EA and Battlefield Studios shared a new and lengthy update confirming some key details about season two. The biggest news is that EA confirmed season two will include at least two new maps, and it shared a few more details about one of those battlegrounds. Contaminated is one of the new maps arriving sometime in season two, and EA will soon be letting some players hop into the map early via a new round of Battlefield Labs playtesting. Interestingly, EA says it wants to test how the map’s “unique gameplay mechanics function” in a live match. As for how big Contaminated is, EA says its total size lands somewhere between Eastwood and Mirak Valley and says it is comparable in size to classic maps such as Arras from Battlefield V.

While that sounds like a decent-sized map, I suspect EA knew some fans wouldn’t be satisfied with that announcement, which probably explains the publisher teasing the return of a massive classic map in Wednesday’s post. Golmud Railway, a map first seen in Battlefield 4, will be added to BF6 in a “future season.”

“Golmud Railway is being rebuilt for today’s Battlefield, not simply ported forward,” explained the devs. “Our goal is to preserve what made the map so memorable in Battlefield 4, particularly its combined arms gameplay, while improving how it plays and supports* Battlefield 6* systems. Golmud Railway is planned to be the largest Battlefield 6 map to date, giving us the opportunity to expand gameplay on a larger scale.”

Since before Battlefield 6 launched, fans have been asking for bigger maps or even creating their own using Battlefield 6‘s battle royale map and in-game creation tools. So it’s great to hear that EA and Battlefield Studios are working on a map that will be bigger than any of the current battlegrounds. Hopefully, fans won’t have to wait too long to get to play it. Maybe season three? We’ll have to wait and find out.

Redsec solo mode update

Meanwhile, Battlefield 6 devs confirmed that the Little Bird heli, which was featured in past BF games, will be added in season two. The devs also confirmed they are continuing to work on a solo queue for Redsec, BF6‘s battle royale mode. No release date was shared, and it seems like it could end up never happening if testing doesn’t work out. But for now, it seems like the studios involved in making BF6 and Redsec are still working on the fan-requested feature.

Here’s the dev’s full update:

We’re also continuing internal and exploratory testing around Battle Royale Solo play, as we evaluate how different player configurations impact pacing, balance, and the overall Battle Royale experience.

This work is focused on understanding where Solo play can best fit within the broader Battle Royale roster, including how it affects match flow, survivability, and long-term engagement when featured alongside other Battle Royale experiences. These tests are part of our ongoing effort to make informed decisions about how Battle Royale is structured and presented over time, rather than committing to a single permanent configuration.

*Battlefield 6′*s second free season arrives on all platforms on February 17, bringing new maps and, like season one, likely adding more content like new weapons, modes, cosmetics, and more.
