The footage, released primarily on Reddit , shows animations, interface, weapons, and maps from the game in development. However, the images are still far from representing the final version, displaying unfinished graphics, bugs, and visual glitches. Still, the leak generated great interest among fans of the franchise, who have been eagerly awaiting news since the release of Battlefield 2042 in 2021.
New Battlefield is in early development stages
EA has confirmed that the new Battlefield is still in production across multiple studios, including DICE , the series' traditional developer. Initial testing is limited to PC, as the developers are still working on optimizing for other platforms. Despite the lack of detailed information, the game is expected to be released before April 2026.

Elements such as textures, performance, and gameplay mechanics will undergo refinements before the next testing phases. Even so, the community is already analyzing the images for clues about the changes and innovations that may make it into the final game.
