Electronic Arts (EA) has pushed back the release date for Season 2 of its popular first-person shooter game Battlefield 6 to February 17, citing "community feedback" as the reason.
The second season was initially scheduled to launch on January 20, which is now a month away. However, EA has decided to extend Season 1 through the start of the next season instead, allowing players more time to enjoy the ongoing content and giving developers an extra chance to refine the new season's offerings.
In its blog post announcing the change, EA stated that it had been reviewing community feedback during the game's ongoing development and felt that extending Season 1 was the best course of action. "During our ongoing development, we've continued to review community feedback and, in order to keep our promise, determined that our best path forward is to extend Season 1 and give ourselves extra time to further polish and refine Season 2," EA said.
While this delay may have been a disappointment for some fans, it's clear that EA is committed to making the game better. As one Steam reviewer noted, "The Battle Pass is extremely predatory and very FOMO" - a sentiment shared by many others who felt that the game's latest update was more stressful than enjoyable.
To make up for the delay, players will get some extra content as part of Season 1's extension. The Frostfire Bonus Path will allow them to unlock new free and premium customization rewards, including a unique weapon package and soldier skin, as well as XP boosts by advancing through its tiers. This update is set to arrive on January 20.
Overall, it seems that EA is taking the community's feedback seriously and is willing to make changes to ensure that Battlefield 6 meets their high standards.

they're basically saying its not their fault but rather the fans are too demanding. i mean, can't they just listen to what we want instead of making up excuses? 
. it's also cool that they're adding some extra goodies like the Frostfire Bonus Path 
. i guess you could say they're listening to what we want, even if its not exactly because of community feedback 
Battlefield 6 was supposed to drop in like, no time at all! Can't believe they're giving us an extra month... but on the bright side, I guess we'll get more of Season 1's awesome content first 
Like that Frostfire Bonus Path? That's so cool! And now we get those sweet XP boosts and new customization rewards 
. Kudos to EA for listening to the community and making changes. That takes guts! 
. like, i get that they wanna listen to community feedback, but can't they just give us a solid release date already? 
. at least they're giving us some extra content as a consolation prize, but it's not enough to make me forget about the initial delay 
. fingers crossed season 2 turns out better than season 1 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good game update, right? 
. Now that's what I call good game development! 
they could've just pushed through with season 2 as planned but instead they chose to extend season 1 and give devs more time to fine tune everything 
thats definitely a win in my books 
, I'm kinda hyped about this delay 
! I mean, who doesn't love a good extension of Season 1? 
It shows EA is all ears 
and cares about what the community wants. And let's be real, extra content can only be a good thing! 
. Plus, it gives devs more time to fine-tune Season 2, which can only make the game better in the long run 
. Bring on February 17, but first, let's get that extra content and enjoy some Season 1 goodness 
!
But at the same time, I gotta give them props for actually listening to the community 
Maybe this delay won't be so bad after all... but I'm still hyped for Season 2 when it finally comes out 
. And what about the people who are already burned out on gaming? Can't they just get some peace and quiet? 
I guess better late than never 
that's a good thing 
. I mean, who doesn't love free customization rewards? 
. I get why EA wants to make changes, but it's like... can't they just find a better balance between monetization and fun? 
.
.
. It's not always easy to wait and see how things play out, but I think this is a great lesson in being patient and trusting the process 
. And hey, who knows, maybe all that extra time will lead to some amazing new content that we're all going to love
