The gaming world is gearing up for an exciting showdown as both Call of Duty and Battlefield prepare to launch new titles in 2025. This marks the first time since 2021 that the two powerhouse franchises will go head-to-head in the same year. Back then, Battlefield 2042 and Call of Duty: Vanguard underperformed, leaving fans eager for redemption from both series.
Activision has officially confirmed Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 for 2025, though an exact release date remains unannounced. Industry insiders speculate a mid-November launch, placing it roughly a month after Battlefield 6, which is locked in for October 10. While Call of Duty has maintained a yearly release cycle since 2005, Battlefield’s schedule has been less predictable. The last entry, Battlefield 2042, arrived three years after Battlefield 5 (2018), which itself followed Battlefield 1 (2016) after a two-year gap.
Developers working on Battlefield 6 have hinted at a fresh approach, emphasizing its distinct identity in the competitive shooter space. According to sources, the team is focused on crafting an experience that resonates with longtime fans while offering something new. “This isn’t just another shooter, it’s a Battlefield game through and through,” one insider revealed.
For those unwilling to wait until fall, Battlefield 6 will host a free open beta in the coming months. Additionally, a battle royale mode is reportedly in development, expanding the franchise’s multiplayer offerings. With both franchises aiming to reclaim their dominance, 2025 could be a defining year for first-person shooters.
