I have been praised for a long time, and I mean in fact, EA CEO Andrew Wilson’s ability to answer a question without answering it, and what it can mean for his recent (non -) comments and Battalfield 6 on GTA 6 delay is a prominent example.
During the Q&A part of the EA’s Q4 2025 income call, Wilson was asked about “The Big, Major Expelted Release” and by May 2026, its delay “How can the battleground launch window and later perform the competitive landscape to perform expectations.”
Battalfield 6 does not have a firm release date, but EA recently revealed that it is set to launch in FY 2026, which runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March, 2026, which means that the game is due to launch before April 2026. Wilson refused to comment or even Getty said the release has made a hit.
Wilson said, “It takes many years to create and develop the games, and it is unlikely that if you were not already ready to launch in this window, it may be ready and it may be difficult to take advantage that otherwise there may be a low competitive window, as we may be estimated before,” Wilson said.
“Everything we have said is that we are constructing a window that we thought that it makes the most understanding for the battlefield, but we will not launch in a window that we thought we have thought that we have reduced the value that we have invested in the franchise or the value that we feel that our players will start jumping and playing once.
“I think now, without going too far, we believe that the window is clear than before, and we feel great about launching the battleground in FY 26.”
I should make my best translation of Wilson’s Corporate Speak: Yes, GTA 6 is delayed Batalfield 6 is good for the release window because now there is less competition. But while the GTA 6 has a solid release date, Battalfield 6 has only a very vague release window. We can actually guess that the battlefield 6 may not be launched anywhere near the date of launch of 6 May, 2026.
The EA says that “this is not always” it was understood what the battle players want, but the reaction of the new entry “has crossed our expectations” after “thousands of hours” after “thousands of hours”.
