Battlefield 6 Season 5 is scheduled to begin Oct. 13, bringing combat to the Las Vegas Strip, an Area 51 map, and a limited-time Dead Space Halloween event. The Steam announcement also previews several additions for REDSEC.

The Area 51 map is named Raid Restricted. Players will defend classified secrets across open desert and underground tunnels, where tanks battle while jets fly overhead. On the Las Vegas Strip, fights spill into casinos, and players can blast holes through buildings. Season 5 will also add six weapons and two vehicles, updated returns for Blackwell Fields and New Sobek City, Operation High Roller, and Platoons. An earlier preview outlined the three-map plan, with two maps planned for launch, and REDSEC playlist changes.

REDSEC will add Rapid Royale, described as its fastest and most aggressive Battle Royale yet. Kills earn redeploys in the mode. Season 5 will also introduce the Open Series Competition and officially launch Ranked Battle Royale, adding competitive options alongside the faster format.

The limited-time Dead Space Halloween event will bring a new PvE experience centered on a mysterious artifact that threatens to corrupt the world. The trailer closes on a massive structure as alien footprints flash across the screen.
