- 12.4 billion eliminations and 871 million revivals
- 102 million helicopters and jets destroyed
After reviewing the community highlights, the team moved on to talk about what awaits players in 2026. Plans include improving the core gameplay, balance and quality of experience across Multiplayer, RedSec and Portal, as well as adding new maps aimed at creating different tactical opportunities and keeping the experience continuously evolving. The developer also indicated its desire to expand Battlefield Labs by bringing more experiences directly into the live version of the game.
As for fans of the Battle Royale mode, the team confirmed that the single-player mode is still under development, explaining that work is underway on the technical aspects to ensure that it is presented at a level of quality befitting the Battlefield name, and although the launch date has not been officially confirmed, the statements indicate that its arrival is still a strong possibility.
