Developers Say Naval Warfare and Other Requests for Battlefield 6 Have Not Gone Unnoticed
Battlefield 6 is launching this week, but fans of sea battles are going to be a bit disappointed knowing that Naval Warfare won’t be part of the Battlefield 6 launch experience.
However, there’s hope, as Battlefield Studios has finally acknowledged fan requests, hinting that there may be room for the experience in the future.
Don’t Rule Out Naval Warfare for Battlefield 6 Yet, as the Studio Wants to Build Battlefield 6 Based on Players’ Requests
Battlefield 6 is officially launching this Friday, and although the game is going to be packed with content, with plenty of maps and modes to play from, there is one thing that won’t be there at launch. We’re talking about Naval Warfare, the classic Battlefield experience that was first introduced with the very first Battlefield game, Battlefield 1942. Of course, since the release of that game, Naval Warfare has taken a bit of a backseat, with it being released as either DLC, in some of the newer entries, and completely being skipped in Battlefield 2042.
Well, despite not launching with Battlefield 6, it seems there’s a good chance that we’ll see Naval Warfare making a return (and hopefully a big one) as the latest community update from the studios has acknowledged fans’ requests for it.
“There is much more to look forward to beyond our Seasons as our team continues reviewing Battlefield Labs data, player feedback, and ideating on completely new ideas for the future, starting with an exciting new Battlefield take on Battle Royale. Separately, requests for naval warfare have not gone unnoticed, nor have the calls for a certain fan-favorite little helicopter, platoons, and more.
We appreciate all of your suggestions, and want you to know we’re listening. With Season 1 and our roadmap ahead, we’re excited to continue to build a Battlefield that reflects what players want. We’ll continue reading and listening to community channels, and we cannot wait to share more with you, so keep the feedback coming. Also be sure to join our official Battlefield Discord
for more discussion and the latest updates.”
While they didn’t outright say that it’s happening, their commitment to listening to feedback and building the game based on that hints that if enough players want it, then we’re likely going to see it.
Now the question is whether it can return to the full glory of naval warfare that Battlefield 1942 had, or if we should expect it to be a slimmer (but still fun) experience, like seen in Battlefield 4 and a few other games. Only time will tell, but I am excited by the fact that the studio has at least acknowledged it.
Battlefield 6 launches on October 10, 2025, for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Early digital buyers can now pre-load the game client ahead of release.
