Early gameplay footage of EA's next Battlefield game has leaked online, surfacing after a closed playtest. As reported by TheGamer, a Twitch streamer, anto_merguezz, seemingly streamed footage from EA's Battlefield Labs playtest. While the stream itself is no longer available on the streamer's page, recordings have circulated online, primarily via Reddit.
The leaked footage seemingly confirms the "modern" setting previously hinted at by Vince Zampella, setting it apart from other Battlefield titles with historical or futuristic settings. The clips showcase intense firefights and highlight the game's destructible environments. Early fan reaction appears positive, a welcome change after the less-than-stellar launch of Battlefield 2042.Last month's official unveiling revealed some key details about the upcoming Battlefield game, 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 the new Battlefield game in fiscal year 2026 (between April 2025 and March 2026). With the launch date approaching, we can expect more official reveals soon. Given the current leak, it seems containing further unauthorized disclosures may prove challenging for EA.
IGN has contacted EA for comment.
