Electronic Arts began testing the new Battlefield as part of its Battlefield Labs , allowing a select group of players to try out an early version of the game. However, despite the explicit prohibition on sharing content, early gameplay videos leaked online.

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.

The leaked videos indicate that the game still needs tweaks, which is common in tests of this nature. 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.

Expectations are high after Battlefield 2042's mixed reception

The latest game in the franchise, Battlefield 2042 , had a rocky launch, receiving mixed reviews and dividing the player base. Many hope the new title will recapture the series' classic identity and deliver a more polished and balanced experience. EA seems aware of this need, investing in early testing and gathering community feedback to fine-tune development.

Despite fan excitement, the developer has yet to reveal details about the plot, game modes, or significant gameplay changes. Until then, leaks remain the only source of concrete information about the project. With more testing planned for the future, including console versions, the new Battlefield has a long road ahead before its release. Players can only follow the leaks and wait for the next official announcements.
