Leaked: Early Footage of Battlefield 6 Appears Online

Recent leaks have surfaced featuring early gameplay footage of EA's highly anticipated upcoming Battlefield game, following a closed playtesting session. As reported by TheGamer, a Twitch user named anto_merguezz streamed footage from EA's exclusive Battlefield Labs playtest, designed for a select group of players to provide feedback and help developers refine the game. Although no clips remain on anto_merguezz's Twitch page, the footage was recorded by others and has spread across the internet, particularly on Reddit.

The leaked footage confirms the "modern" setting that Vince Zampella previously hinted at, setting this game apart from other Battlefield titles that have ventured into historical or futuristic themes. The clips offer a glimpse into intense firefights and showcase the game's signature destructible environments. Early reactions from fans have been positive, which bodes well for the game, especially after the lukewarm reception to Battlefield 2042's launch.

Last month, we received our first official look at what the next Battlefield game has in store. Excitingly, it's been confirmed that the new title will feature the return of a traditional, single-player, linear campaign. This news has been warmly received by players who were disappointed by its absence in the multiplayer-focused Battlefield 2042.

EA has set its sights on a fiscal 2026 release for this new Battlefield game, which translates to a launch window between April 2025 and March 2026. As the launch approaches, we can anticipate more official reveals from EA. Given the leaks, it seems urgent for EA to share more about the game, tentatively referred to as Battlefield 6, to manage the narrative and build anticipation.

IGN has reached out to EA for a comment on the matter.
