The wait has been a bit longer than initially expected, eg Battlefield 6 Season 2 was delayed by EA in early January, extending Season 1 for almost another month.

Battlefield 6 Season 2 Updates and Improvements
In a new community update, the Battlefield Comms account posted a lengthy blog post about what kind of important updates are coming to Season 2. In terms of content, the post confirmed that the first map of Season 2 was contaminated, which seems to support the recent one. Battlefield 6 The leak centered on Hagental Airbase in Germany. In fact, the new story trailer not only confirms the location, but also hints at a new limited-time game mode that EA says “introduces a new element of strategy in the fight against the Pax Armata.” The post goes on to tease more variety coming in the second half of the season, with a limited-time mode featuring “high-intensity” maps and an underground base shrouded in darkness.
Season 2 also brings major improvements, including EA's detailed challenge requirements that emphasize specific game modes, expanding what counts in each requirement, such as taking into account support, completely eliminating more frustrating challenges such as using sidearms to earn kills.

Battlefield Labs is also being used to community test gameplay changes before going live, to make sure they're what players want.
