Official announcement for Battlefield from Electronic Arts, published on Steam on October 9, 2026.
From the neon-lit streets of Las Vegas to the heavily guarded grounds of Area 51, the war has spread across some of Nevada's most iconic locations.
In addition to the new maps, Season 5 is going all-in on all-out warfare with the biggest updates to the combat arsenal yet, featuring 6 new weapons and 2 new vehicles, a new PVE Halloween event, and more.
Now, let's take a closer look at both maps:
VEGAS STRIP
Vegas Strip drops players into a dense urban battlefield where casinos, hotels, and landmark attractions have become the center of the fighting.
Olympus Pools
Combat shifts between close-quarters fights inside the hotel, skirmishes around the pool deck, and battles across the surrounding resort grounds. Teams that control the high ground can keep an eye on key routes and pressure enemies moving between objectives.
Olympus Lobby
Players can enter through the valet area, push through staff entrances, or use ziplines to reach the rooftop before dropping through the collapsed dome overhead. The objective rewards teams that attack from multiple angles and make use of the space above and below them.
Crater & Storm Drains
Above ground, infantry and vehicles fight across exposed streets and debris fields. Beneath the surface, storm drains and tunnels create a completely different experience, with tight corridors and close-range engagements that offer a safer route through the middle of the map.
AREA 51
Most people have heard of Area 51. Very few know what's supposed to be inside.
Players can battle across the base above ground or push into the facility hidden beneath it. Both spaces play very differently, but they're constantly connected by the flow of the match.
