The new work of "Battlefield" will be released before March 2026 and will be fully released this summer.An EA investor asked how EA views the release plan of the game industry in the next few months after the release of "GTA6" was postponed, as well as the competitive landscape and subsequent performance expectations for the release window of "Battlefield".

Wilson responded that he did not think many companies would rush to release the game early after the postponement of GTA6, because it was not easy to adjust the release time in advance."Game development and production usually take years. If a company didn't plan to release games at this time window, it can be difficult to prepare for this relatively less crowded competitive window in a short time."

Wilson said the new "Battlefield" work will still be released before March 2026, which is at least two months ahead of the release of "GTA6".He stressed: "We have always been choosing the most appropriate release time window for Battlefield. We are not releasing the game at a point that will weaken our brand value."

"Now we can say that this time window is clearer than before, and we are confident that we will release the new Battlefield work in fiscal 2026."
