Battlefield 6 Season 4 Brings Naval Combat and a Homage-Laden Japanese Map
The addition of naval combat and a map built around it addresses a long-absent feature in Battlefield 6, while the deliberate references to Battlefield 4 signal a return to the series' modern warfare roots.

Battlefield 6's Season 4 'Pacific Front' launches July 21 with the series' first naval combat on the new map Tsuru Reef. A hands-on preview describes a dynamic wave system that affects boat handling, an island map blending infantry and naval skirmishes, and a host of Japanese-themed details including a hotel homage to Battlefield 4's Hainan Resort. Three new weapons and two new watercraft are also introduced.
The preview session offered a chance to inspect the map's cultural touches, from Japanese vending machines to Kagoshima license plates on left-hand drive kei trucks - a detail that amused the Japanese writer. The map, Tsuru Reef, is a set of islands where boat travel is essential for capturing most objectives. A new dynamic wave system makes larger boats sway heavily, requiring careful navigation. The hotel at point E is a clear homage to Battlefield 4's Hainan Resort, though the elevator is gone and a cable wire leads to the roof. The map also includes a joint Japan-U.S. base that funnels infantry into a single building for close-quarters combat.
