Ten-minute footage of a previously unseen map for Battlefield 6, created by DICE and EA, has circulated online and is being linked to the game’s Season One roadmap, which matters because it appears to show a much larger California-style map built for long sight lines and extensive vehicular combat.
The video was shared by the same source that previously surfaced an earlier battle royale leak, and the first poster uploaded the clip to Reddit, where it began to spread further; see the Reddit post. The leak is described under the names Blackwell Field or Blackwell Farm, names that come from the original uploader rather than an official announcement. The provenance means the map should be treated as unconfirmed until DICE or EA publishes details.

The footage shows open, rocky terrain dotted with oil derricks and long sight lines that favor vehicle engagements and long-range weapons. An airstrip and hangars are featured in one section, while another area comprises factory-style buildings, rolling hills, and a small village, a mix of environments that support varied playstyles. The layout suggests Conquest-sized modes would have plenty of avenues for armor and aircraft to operate. If authentic, it responds directly to requests for larger maps after the game’s open beta.
Players requested larger spaces after the beta, and this leak, if accurate, aligns with that direction. There is no official date attached to when the map would arrive, only that it is being linked to Season One. Additional context regarding the Season One roadmap has not been published by DICE or EA yet; a separate news item suggests a different upcoming announcement.
