Battlefield 2025 Sparks Outrage – EA Under Fire for Gaza War Visuals
Battlefield developer and publisher DICE and EA have recently found themselves in hot water after using what many believe are real-world images of the ongoing war in Gaza for their upcoming Battlefield game.
EA recently came under fire for using real-world imagery of a Gaza bombing to create their concept art for the so far unannounced Battlefield 2025 game.
The upcoming Battlefield 6 game will return the series back to modern warfare. Neither EA nor DICE have announced a date, with the FPS set to release in late 2025.
Why Battlefield 2025 is Facing Criticism
2025 could be a big year for the Battlefield franchise, with Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield V failing to impress. Unfortunately, the next entry has seen backlash already after users on X spotted that EA was using real-world images from a bombing in Gaza as inspiration for the art in Battlefield 2025.
User EmadAlden on X posted the image comparison, which many are calling a “questionable” decision from EA.
The Debate on War Depictions in Video Games
Games like Battlefield thrive on depicting real-world conflicts and delivering hyper-realistic graphics. In a genre where visuals and gameplay must be state of the art, tackling complex, real-world topics and combining them with real-world imagery is considered by many to be tone-deaf or exploitative at the very least.
This incident adds to EA’s ongoing struggles with its Battlefield franchise, which has faced criticism in the past for buggy launches and insensitive content.

Battlefield 2025 Release Date
DICE’s upcoming Battlefield 2025 game is expected in the fall holiday of 2025. EA and DICE are remaining silent on an exact release date.
There is hope from many fans that the series will return to core Battlefield. That means 64-player servers, a modern setting, and smooth, optimized action.
