While an official start date has yet to be confirmed, this is when Season 2's Battle Pass expires, and we know for definite that Season 3 is scheduled for May.

Of course, nothing is set in stone, and we have seen previous seasons delayed, but there is currently no indication that the third installment will be pushed back.

What's Included in Season 3 of Battlefield 6?

Season 3 of Battlefield 6 will introduce a reimagining of two classic Battlefield maps in the form of Railway to Golmud and Cairo Bazaar, alongside new weapons, modes, and more. BR Solos and REDSEC Ranked will also be added.

Railway to Golmud will become Battlefield 6's largest map yet, while Cairo Bazaar, which arrives later in the season, is an updated take on Grand Bazaar from Battlefield 3.

So far, information regarding the new weapons and modes has remained under wraps, although recent leaks have suggested that at least four guns are on the way. These include the M16A3 Assault Rifle, L115A3 Bolt-Action Rifle, RPK-74M LMG, and PP-19 Vityaz SMG. It remains to be seen whether these arrive in Season 3 or further down the line.

In addition to the new playable content, various combat, gameplay, and mechanic improvements will be implemented from Season 3 onwards, with soldier visibility, matchmaking, and further changes to challenges and progression all being worked on.

So there we have it, everything there is to know about Season 3 of Battlefield 6 right now. We will update this article in due course once more information becomes available.
