Leaked Gameplay Footage Surfaces for EA's Next Battlefield Game
Early gameplay footage from EA's upcoming Battlefield game has leaked online, following a closed playtest. As reported by TheGamer, a Twitch user, anto_merguezz, seemingly streamed footage from the Battlefield Labs playtest. While no clips remain on anto_merguezz's page, recordings from the stream have circulated online, primarily via Reddit.
The leaked footage seemingly confirms the "modern" setting previously teased by Vince Zampella, setting it apart from other Battlefield titles with historical or futuristic settings. The footage offers glimpses of intense firefights and showcases the game's destructible environments. Initial fan reaction appears positive, a welcome contrast to the lukewarm reception of Battlefield 2042's launch.Last month's official unveiling revealed details about the next Battlefield installment, including the return of a traditional, linear single-player campaign—a feature notably absent in Battlefield 2042, much to the disappointment of many players.
EA currently anticipates launching its next Battlefield game in fiscal year 2026 (April 2025 – March 2026). With the launch approaching, we can likely expect more official reveals soon. Given the current leak, keeping Battlefield 6 (or its eventual title) under wraps for much longer seems increasingly challenging for EA.
IGN has contacted EA for comment.
