Liberation Peak: A massive battlefield set in the mountains of Tajikistan, featuring rocky terrain for intense combined arms combat. Expect jets and helicopters battling above while tanks and infantry fight for elevation and control.
Empire State: An infantry-only map in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. Battles play out across city streets, rooftops, and alleys. Designed for fast-paced, close-quarters combat without vehicles. This is one of the best Battlefield 6 maps.

Mirak Valley: The biggest Battlefield 6 map at launch, this war-torn valley is built for true all-out warfare. Every vehicle type – tanks, jets, helicopters, and more – can be used in this new Battlefield 6 map.
Siege of Cairo: Another map based in Cairo, but this one involves urban combat in central Cairo, featuring tight alleyways and building interiors. Infantry and tanks compete in close fights.
Iberian Offensive: Battle through the winding streets and alleys of Gibraltar. For this new BF 6 map, players can expect heavy tanks and soldiers to clash in destructible environments.
Saints Quarter: Set in Gibraltar’s Old Town, this is a close-quarters, infantry-only map. Focused around a fountain square, this new Battlefield 6 map makes you engage fast. It features destructible buildings providing dynamic cover and constant action.
Operation Firestorm: A remake of the beloved Battlefield 3 map, set in a burning oil field. This map goes hand in hand with infantry, tanks, helicopters, & jets all fighting for control amid fire, smoke, and oil.
Note
In a Q&A session with GNN, Battlefield 6 Development Director Anna Narrevik said that when there aren’t enough players in multiplayer games, AI bots will fill the empty spots. This isn’t new for shooters or the Battlefield series, since Battlefield 2042 used bots the same way. But many players don’t like this method for matchmaking. For example, a lot of Call of Duty fans complained about Warzone Mobile using too many bots, saying it made games less fun and unbalanced because teams with more real players won too easily.
So, these are all the confirmed Battlefield 6 maps at launch. To learn more about all the leaked multiplayer and campaign maps, check out this blog.
