PSA: Early Battlefield 6 Footage Seems to Have Leaked Online

Leaked gameplay footage from a closed playtest of EA's upcoming Battlefield game has surfaced online. As reported by TheGamer, a Twitch streamer, anto_merguezz, reportedly streamed footage from the Battlefield Labs playtest. While the stream itself is no longer available on the streamer's page, recordings have circulated online, primarily through Reddit.

The leaked footage seemingly confirms the game's modern setting, a departure from the historical or futuristic settings of previous Battlefield titles, as previously hinted by Vince Zampella. The clips showcase firefights and highlight the game's destructible environments. Initial fan reaction appears positive, a welcome change after the lukewarm reception of Battlefield 2042.

Last month's official unveiling revealed some details about the next Battlefield installment, 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 a fiscal year 2026 release, placing the launch window between April 2025 and March 2026. With this timeframe, more official reveals are likely imminent as EA prepares for launch. Given the current leak, it seems containing further unauthorized disclosures may prove challenging for EA.

IGN has contacted EA for comment.
