PSA: Early Battlefield 6 Footage Seems to Have Leaked Online

Exciting news for fans of the Battlefield series: early gameplay footage of EA's upcoming Battlefield game has surfaced online, following a closed playtest session. According to a report by TheGamer, a Twitch user named anto_merguezz streamed footage from EA's exclusive Battlefield Labs playtest, which was designed to allow a select group of players to experience early versions of the game and provide feedback to the developers. Although no clips remain on anto_merguezz's Twitch page, the footage has been captured and shared across various online platforms, with Reddit being a primary hub for its circulation.

The leaked footage seems to validate the "modern" setting hinted at by Vince Zampella, differentiating this installment from previous Battlefield games set in historical or futuristic eras. Viewers are treated to dynamic firefights and glimpses of the game's signature destructible environments. The initial reactions from fans have been positive, which is encouraging, especially after the lukewarm reception to Battlefield 2042's launch.

Following the first official unveiling last month, we've learned that the new Battlefield title will feature the return of a traditional, single-player, linear campaign. This news has been warmly received by the community, particularly by those who missed this aspect in the multiplayer-focused Battlefield 2042.

EA has slated the next Battlefield game for a release within its fiscal year 2026, which spans from April 2025 to March 2026. As the launch date approaches, we can anticipate more official reveals from EA. Given the leaks, it seems likely that more details about Battlefield 6 (or whatever the final name may be) will be shared soon to keep the momentum going and to manage the spread of unofficial content.

IGN has reached out to EA for a statement on the matter.
