With the arrival of Season 6, players can expect a brand new map designed for close quarters combat, a fresh array of weapons and gadgets, and spooky-themed items in the battle pass to celebrate the Halloween season. Mark your calendars for October 5, when a thrilling gameplay trailer will be unveiled in anticipation of the season's kickoff on October 10.

Battlefield 2042's sixth season, Dark Creations, has recently unveiled some important details. Since its disappointing launch in 2021, the game has faced tough competition from popular FPS titles like Call of Duty: Vanguard and Halo Infinite. However, thanks to consistent seasonal support and significant changes, sentiment towards Battlefield 2042 has improved somewhat. The game has made substantial improvements over the past two years, including reworking all its launch maps, including the highly requested Hourglass, and replacing the controversial specialist system with the beloved class-based system. While Battlefield 2042 continues to receive regular updates, there are rumors that EA, including DICE, its internal studios, may be exploring other options and working on several new titles for the future of the Battlefield franchise.

The teaser for Season 6 of Battlefield 2042 was released in early June, creating anticipation among players. After Season 5 ended in late August, there was a lack of new content until now. Battlefield 2042 announced on Twitter that its sixth season, titled Dark Creations, will begin on October 10. This season will bring a new close quarters combat map, as well as new weapons, gadgets, and Halloween-themed items in the battle pass. A gameplay trailer, featuring more details about Season 6, will be released on October 5.

Many Battlefield fans expressed confusion in the comments of the video, wondering if the new season will introduce a PvE zombies experience. The cinematic footage shows operators fighting against what appears to be undead soldiers. However, these soldiers are also seen using weapons, suggesting that they may be undead skins available in the battle pass or in the in-game store of Battlefield 2042.

In addition to Season 6 of Battlefield 2042, another online FPS, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, is also joining the horror action this month. The Haunting event of Call of Duty is scheduled to start just one week after Battlefield's new season on October 17. Furthermore, there are rumors suggesting that Ubisoft's XDefiant might also launch on the same day. This means that Battlefield 2042 will once again face tough competition. As we approach October 10, Battlefield fans can anticipate more information about Season 6. Battlefield 2042 is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
