If you have been enjoying Battlefield 6 since its launch, you’ll unfortunately need to wait a little longer than expected for Season 2. The good news is that there will still be plenty to do between the original and new start dates, so don’t worry—you won’t be left without anything to shoot at.
### When Does Battlefield 6 Season 2 Start?
Battlefield 6 Season 2 is now scheduled to start on **February 17**, according to an official blog post from EA. Originally, the season was planned to launch on January 20. Instead, that date will now see the release of a **Season 1 extension update** for Battlefield 6 and REDSEC.
### What to Expect with the Season 1 Extension
The extension update will include:
– New weekly challenges
– A Bonus Path
– Continuation of the Season 1 Battle Pass
EA hopes this content will nicely fill the gap until the new Season 2 launch, which arrives just after Valentine’s Day.
### Additional Updates and Rewards
EA has promised to release detailed patch notes for the January 20 extension, so players will know exactly which fixes and stability improvements have been implemented.
Starting January 27, players can also begin the **Frostfire Bonus Path**, allowing them to unlock new customization rewards such as:
– A Weapon Package
– Soldier Skin
– XP Boosts
### Why the Delay?
EA has stated that the reason for postponing Season 2 is to refine and polish the new content. However, they have been cautious about revealing any major details about what that content might entail.
Battlefield 6 started strong at launch, but recent months have seen shifts in player sentiment. This delay seems like a smart move by EA to focus on player feedback and ensure that Season 2 makes a strong and positive impact when it finally arrives.
Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to February 17!
