PSA: Early Battlefield 6 Footage Seems to Have Leaked Online

Excitement is building around EA's upcoming Battlefield game, as early gameplay footage has reportedly leaked online following a closed playtest. According to TheGamer, Twitch user anto_merguezz streamed footage from EA's exclusive Battlefield Labs playtest, designed to allow a select group of players to test early builds and provide feedback for refinement. Although the stream is no longer available on anto_merguezz's channel, clips from the stream have surfaced across the internet, with Reddit being a primary hub for their circulation.

The leaked footage seems to corroborate previous teasers from Vince Zampella about the game's setting, suggesting a return to a modern era, distinct from the historical or futuristic themes of past Battlefield titles. Viewers are treated to glimpses of intense firefights and the game's hallmark destructible environments, sparking positive reactions from the fanbase. This is a promising sign, especially in the wake of the lukewarm response to Battlefield 2042's initial release.

Following the official unveiling last month, anticipation for the new Battlefield has grown. EA has confirmed that the game will feature a traditional, single-player campaign, a much-requested element missing from Battlefield 2042. This move is likely to appease fans eager for a more linear narrative experience.

EA has set a release window for their next Battlefield title within fiscal year 2026, which spans from April 2025 to March 2026. As the launch date approaches, more official reveals are expected, and given the recent leak, it seems EA may need to accelerate their promotional efforts to stay ahead of further unauthorized disclosures.

IGN has reached out to EA for a statement on the leaked footage, and the gaming community eagerly awaits further details on what promises to be an exciting addition to the Battlefield series.
