Battlefield (戦場, Battlefield) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was the very first stage revealed for Ultimate during the Nintendo Direct of E3 2018.
Stage layout
Like its predecessors, Battlefield consists of a central, solid platform, with ledges at its sides that can be grabbed. Above this platform, there are three more soft platforms, arranged in a triangular layout. As in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. 4, the background shifts between light and dark. However, in this iteration, this is due to a regularly-occurring solar eclipse rather than a day/night cycle.
In Ultimate, the Battlefield seems to combine some of the visual aesthetics from the two previous Battlefields (three if you count the 3DS and Wii U versions of Battlefield as separate). Once again, the stage is made mostly of rock, with bushes and shrubs growing on the side. Behind the main fighting area, there is a half crumbled arch to the left, and ice shards to the right. On the underside, there is a giant, jagged piece of ice at the bottom, surrounded by rock. Ruins are present in the background, similar to the Wii U version of the stage, but there are now waterfalls where empty sky used to be. In the distance, a slightly torn flag with the Super Smash Bros. series logo on it waves, similar to Smash for Wii U.
Ω form
Battlefield's Ω form is identical to the regular stage, but with the soft platforms removed. Unlike Battlefield's Ω form in Smash 4, which was lengthened, this stage is the same length as the normal Battlefield, as Final Destination is now the same length as Battlefield.

Trivia
- In the E3 2018 demo build of Ultimate, selecting Final Destination would load the Ω form of Battlefield instead. Ultimate's version of Final Destination had not been revealed at the time.
- Also, in the E3 2018 demo build, a demo version of the "Battlefield" theme was heard.
